Installation

Requirements

Typical requirements include:

• Python 3
• access to a compatible SAS Viya environment
• SWAT for Python
• valid SAS backend credentials

Depending on the features you use, the following Python dependencies may also be required:

• numpy
• pandas
• matplotlib
• mayavi
• PyQt5
• requests

Install from PyPI

pip install sas-cvpy

Install from source

git clone https://github.com/sassoftware/python-cvpy.git
cd python-cvpy
pip install .

Recommended virtual environment setup

venv

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install sas-cvpy

conda

conda create --name cvpy python=3.8
conda activate cvpy
pip install sas-cvpy

Visualization dependencies

Visualization features rely on packages such as Mayavi, VTK, Matplotlib, and PyQt. These dependencies can be platform-sensitive.

A typical installation path is:

pip install mayavi PyQt5 matplotlib

In some environments, VTK version pinning may be necessary.

Notes

• SAS-side functionality depends on the target Viya environment and available licenses.
• Visualization support may require a local GUI-capable environment.
• Notebook-based examples may also require Jupyter.
