Hi Mehar_Kiran,

Welcome to the SAS Visual Analytics community and to using SAS Software!

As a starting point I would have a look around at the content in this SAS Visual Analytics community and then look at:

• SAS Visual Analytics documentation (select the version you have) - http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/va/index.html
• Numerous resources - books, documents, videos, training courses etc at http://support.sas.com/software/products/va/index.html
• Free SAS Visual Analytics Tutorials - http://support.sas.com/training/tutorial/#s1=2
• SAS Visual Analytics papers - http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/tnote/visualanalytics.html

In terms of your question of where to find the software you will need to speak to your SAS Administrator who will also do the installation. If you are interested in this area then ask SAS Technical Support for the credentials to access to the Administration and Install and Configuration documentation.

If you don't have SAS Visual Analytics installed, you can register to try out SAS Visual Analytics at http://www.sas.com/en_us/software/business-intelligence/visual-analytics/demo.html

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Michelle
