Installation of SAS and related files for the course:


## For use on a home PC or laptop, with SAS installed 

0.  Download this archive, psy6140.zip, from
    http://www.psych.yorku.ca/friendly/lab/files/psy6140.zip
	and save it to a flash drive/usb key, or simply download it from
	home to your harddisk.

1.  Extract all the files in this archive to a directory on your hard disk,
    for example, c:\sasuser. [Use an unzip program, like WinZip or Zip
	Central.]  The following directories will be created there:
		data\
		macros\
		psy6140\

     where the psy6140 folder contains all the course examples
     found on the web and on the Hebb network.         

2.  The file 'autoexec-614.sas' will be in the root directory, c:\ of your
    hard disk. Rename this file to 'autoexec.sas'.

3.  Open the file 'c:\autoexec.sas' in Notepad (or some other editor
    that can handle plain text files).
	If necessary, change the line

           %let mysasdir = c:\sasuser;

     so it refers to the actual directory where you extracted the
	 course files.

4.  Thereafter, when you start SAS, you should see a message like

    NOTE: AUTOEXEC processing beginning; file is C:\autoexec.sas

    and other notes printed when the autoexec.sas file is read.
	From then on, you can use statements like
	
	%include data(baseball);
	%symbox(data=baseball, var=salary)

    exactly as in the Hebb lab.
 
## For use from home, via Web Acadlabs

0.  In the Hebb Lab, download psy6140.zip from
    http://www.psych.yorku.ca/friendly/lab/files/psy6140.zip
	and save it to your F:\ drive.

1.  Use Zip Central *in the Hebb lab* to extract all the files in this
    archive to your F:\drive.  You have to do this step on-campus, because
	Zip Central is not available on Web Acadlabs. 

2.  Edit the file 'autoexec-614.sas' *in the Hebb lab* using Notepad, and change the line

           %let mysasdir = c:\sasuser;
     to
           %let mysasdir = F:;

3.   EACH time you run SAS via Web Acadlabs, enter and run the following statement:

           %include 'f:\autoexec-614.sas';

     This will make the macros and data directories directly available
	 for the rest of your session.  This step cannot be made persistent.
