SAS Viya workbench for learners no SAS kernel

TomHsiung — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 13:48:22 GMT

Hello, everyone

Today I activated my SAS Viya workbench for learners. However, the JupyterLab does not have the SAS kernel so that I cannot handle my SAS script. I tried to install the SAS kernel but it was not working. Also, I wish we can run the workbench with all SAS and R kernel available at the same time. Thanks.
