Hi,

Could anyone help me related to changing SAS Viya default directory location from /opt/sas to /sas?

Thanks,
Asif

The same question has been asked by @shoin in the Admin & Deploy community so you might want to keep an eye on that thread in case it gets an answer: https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Default-Viya-Install-path-is-there-an-a...

We are following the Linux filesystem hierarchy standard (FHS), so the answer will be no you can't change it. You can create a symbolic link for /opt/sas.
