Example of using Quarto with SAS (via sas_kernel)

Prerequisites

1. Install a Java Runtime Environment (required by sas_kernel), and add it to your system's PATH variable.
2. Put SAS's SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\core\sasext in your system's PATH variable.
3. Install Quarto.
4. Use Python and Pipenv to install the packages listed in the included Pipfile. Usually pipenv install --dev should do the trick.
5. Check that jupyter kernelspec list lists the "sas" kernel.
6. For an operating system other than Windows, edit sascfg_personal.py to select your SAS configuration.

Building the Quarto output

From shell prompt:

1. pipenv shell
2. quarto render sas-example.qmd

Troubleshooting

Verify that Jupyter is set up correctly

1. jupyter nbconvert check-python.ipynb --to html --execute
2. quarto check jupyter

Check that quarto and python work with the pure Python version

1. quarto render check-python.qmd --debug

Try the saspy version

1. quarto render check-saspy.qmd --debug

Keep intermediate artifacts

1. quarto render sas-example.qmd --debug

Render in stages

1. quarto convert sas-example.qmd
2. Inspect sas-example.ipynb.
3. quarto render sas-example.ipynb
