.. _`sas-quickstart-gui`:

Interactive GUI Session
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Interactive GUI sessions are done via Open On Demand (OOD).
    - You can use the ``SAS`` application.
    - You can also use the ``Compute RIS Desktop`` application.
- You can find out more about OOD here: :ref:`Compute Quick Start <compute-quick-start>`.
- Fill out the fields with the appropriate information (explained in the quick start).
- Launch the job through the methods described in the quick start.
- If you use the ``SAS`` application, SAS will be started up automatically.
- If you use the ``Compute RIS Desktop`` application, please follow the steps below.
    - Once in an interactive session using the following commands to load and launch SAS.

    .. code::

        module load SAS
        sas

    - If you wish to utilize a browser as part of SAS, you will need to use the following commands.

    .. code::

         module load SAS
         module load SAS Firefox
         sas

    - Versions available can be seen via the following command.

    .. code::

        module avail SAS

Interactive Command-Line Session
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. Note::

    If you are a member of more than one compute group, you will be prompted to specify an LSF User Group with ``-G group_name`` or by setting the ``LSB_SUB_USER_GROUP`` variable.

- If you wish to use SAS in an interactive command-line session, you can do so via the THPC terminal.
- You can find out about using the THPC terminal :ref:`here.<ris-thpc-quickstart-cli>`
- You load SAS just like in the OOD version.

.. code::

    module load SAS
