M2SLink Demo
To download and run the demo version of M2SLink:
It is assumed that you are running on a Windows PC. (Note that M2SLink is only available for the Windows operating system. It does not work on the Mac or on Linux.)
​
To Download:
​
Click on the M2SLink v4 Demo Setup.zip icon directly above.
When prompted, download the zip file to your computer.​​
​
We recommend that you download the zip file to your Temp directory. Then, double-click the zip file. You will be prompted for a destination location. It's ok to tell the zip utility to "unzip the files to M2SLink v4.0 demo". This will create a file named M2SLink v4 Setup.msi in the same directory as the zip file (e.g., Temp).
​
Next, double-click the M2SLink v4 Setup.msi file. This will run a Windows installer program. You will be prompted to provide a destination location where the installer will deposit files. We recommend that you choose the default location provided in the dialog: C:\Program Files\Harper Corditt Software\M2SLink 4.0.
​
You can exit the installer program when it announces that the installation has completed.
​​​
To Run:
To run M2SLink and see how it allows you to interact with SAS, do the following:
​
Go to the M2SLink installation directory (by default, this is C:\Program Files\Harper Corditt Software\M2SLink 4.0).
​
From there, navigate to the subdirectory named Notebooks. This subdirectory contains a Mathematica notebook named M2SLink User Guide.nb.
​
Copy the M2SLink User Guide.nb file to some other directory where you have read/write privileges. You can then start Mathematica by double-clicking on the copy you made of the M2SLink User Guide.nb file. We do not recommend using Mathematica to open the copy of M2SLink User Guide.nb that exists in the installation directory. Although this can be done, you will probably run into issues with read/write permissions.
Once you have opened the M2SLink User Guide.nb notebook, you can follow the instructions it contains for reading the M2SLink.wl file into your notebook. You must read the M2SLink.wl file into your notebook in order to make the functions that M2SLink provides accessible within your Mathematica session. Assuming you are able to read in the M2SLink.wl file, you can then start interacting with SAS. We recommend that you follow along with the examples provided n the notebook to get a feel for the way in which M2SLink allows you to connect with SAS.
​
The demo is fully functional. It will expire 7 days after its initial use.
​​
Whenever you load the demo version of M2SLink into your Mathematica notebook, you must have an internet connection and Chrome must be installed on your computer.
If you don’t already have Chrome installed, here is a link where you can download Chrome:
