All development was done under Windows 10 with Python 3.7 and SAS 9.4 locally installed. Any deviation from this setup might require modifications to example code.

All examples assume a reasonably current version of Python 3.7 (or later) is installed, along with the modules specified in requirements.txt.

In addition, Exercise Files C-H require access to installations of Java SE (https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/) and SAS 9.4 (https://www.sas.com/en_us/software/sas9.html), and the instructions in sascfg_personal-example.py should be used to create a file called sascfg_personal.py in the project directory. Exercise File G also requires access to SAS/ETS (https://www.sas.com/en_us/software/ets.html).
