You have the “Basic“, “Custom” and “Download Medium” installation types. I
Specify a directory where SQL Server will store files downloaded for installation.
Be patient as the download begins, it may take some time.
Step 3: Choose Installation
After all of the packages have downloaded, a new page as illustrated below will
After Step 3, choose the first option in the list and proceed to the next step. This
is illustrated below.
Step 5: Specify Edition
“Express“. Their differences are described in the window. Since we are installing
the “Developer” edition, let us proceed with that option. Click “Next“
Step 6: Accept License Terms
Select the “I accept the license terms and Privacy Statement” Radio and click
on “Next“.
Step 7: Microsoft Update
You can either select the “Microsoft update” radio or not in this step then click
“Next“
Step 8: Install Rules
Windows will check the system to find out any potential problems that can occur
while the setup is running. If your firewall is running, you might see a warning
sign for “Windows Firewall” which reminds you to open appropriate ports after
installation is complete. Click “Next” after you are satisfied with the results of that
page.
Step 9: Feature Selection
In this step, you are presented with many features that SQL Server comes with.
In case you would wish a certain feature to be included in your SQL instance,
then this is the part that you choose their radio buttons. Go ahead and choose
what you prefer to have. Click “Next” after you are done.
Step 10: Instance Configuration
Name your instance, in this step and click on “Next“.
Step 11: Server Configuration
Specify the service accounts and collation configuration here. Click “Next” after
that.
Step 12: Configure Database Engine Parameters
This step gives you the opportunity to choose authentication mechanisms you will use, setting a
password for the administrator account and choosing other admin accounts.
I prefer mixed-mode authentication where a user can either be from a domain
or added manually in the SQL instance. Choose the one that suits you best,
enter the password and any other setting that you would wish to configure.
If you are keen, you will notice that there are other Tabs on this page. They are
“Data Directories” where you can specify where you would wish your logs to
reside, where your root directory will be, where you would wish to place your
“FILESTREAM“. Look into them and set your customized settings therein.
Click on “Next” when you are done. Do not forget to add an admin user.
Since I enabled analysis functionality, this is the step where I configure them.
Choose an administrator and set the server mode that you prefer. Click on
“Next“.
Step 14: Accept Installation of Services
In case you had chosen specific packages to suit your needs in Step 9, you will be presented
with installation guide and settings tailored for that specific service. For example, I had chosen
Python and now I am being asked to consent its installation. After you are done with all of the
prompts, click “Next” to proceed.
Step 15: Ready to Install
This step gives a summary of what we have been doing so far. The packages we
have chosen to install, the settings we have configured and many more. Look at
the list carefully. After you are satisfied with the summary, then gladly click on
“Install“
