Using Custom Step from this GitHub repository in SAS Studio

There are multiple approaches possible to downloading steps from this GitHub repository. Two very straightforward point-and-click approaches that use standard functionality in the GitHub webUI are desribed below.

When wanting to automate things, you could use a SAS script that calls the SAS Git functions to achieve this. More info can be found in this SAS Communities article

Manually downloading custom step(s) using standard functionality in the GitHub webUI

  1. Download the .step file(s) you want to use from this GitHub repository to your local machine.
    • The complete repository can be downloaded as a ZIP file from the main repository page as follows:
      • Click the Code button on that main page and select the Download ZIP option
      • Once the ZIP file has been downloaded, extract the .step files(s) of interest from the .zip file (Hint: Most zip utilities have an option to sort the contents by file extension, so you see all those files next to each other and can easily select the ones you're interested in)
    • A single file .step file can be downloaded as follows:
      • Select the .step file in the your web browser
      • Click on the Download raw file button to show the content of the .step file
      • The .step file will now be downloaded to a directory on your local machine. The location of that file might depend on your browser.
  2. In the SAS Studio Explorer pane, highlight the folder in SAS Content you want to import the .step file(s) to, right-click on the folder and select Upload files.
  3. Add the downloaded .step file(s) to the Upload Files dialog and click Upload.
    • Note: Drag-and-drop is supported. So for, example when using Google Chrome, you can drag-and-drop the downloaded file that is shown at the bottom of your browser, directly into the SAS Studio Upload Files dialog.
  4. The step is now visible in the Steps panel, see tab: Shared, and ready for use. You can now run it in standalone mode, add it as a node in a flow, or modify the definition of the step itself.
