Then we’ll download and install SQL Server.īut first… if you’re using a Mac with the M1 chip, see How to Install SQL Server on an M1 Mac (ARM64). The way to do this is to run SQL Server on Docker. And because macOS is Unix based (and Linux is Unix based), you can run SQL Server for Linux on your Mac.

Starting with SQL Server 2017, you can now install SQL Server directly on to a Linux machine. This is still a valid option depending on your requirements (here’s how to install SQL Server on a Mac with VirtualBox if you’d like to try that method). Prior to SQL Server 2017, if you wanted to run SQL Server on your Mac, you first had to create a virtual machine (using VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or Bootcamp), then install Windows onto that VM, then finally SQL Server. And the best part is, you’ll have SQL Server running locally without needing any virtualization software. This just means that you can close your Terminal, and your Docker Container is still running in the background.Here I’ll show you how to get SQL Server up and running on your Mac in less than half an hour. And with the -d option we specify the Docker Image that we have pulled previously, and that you want to run the Docker Container detached from the Terminal.

With the –name option we assign a custom name to our Docker Container.

If you have multiple SQL Server Containers, you can also bind them to different ports on your host machine to access them independently from each other.

Therefore I can directly access the exposed SQL Server Container through the IP address of my Mac on the network.

In my case I bind the default SQL Server port of 1433 within the Container to the port 1433 on my Mac. The port on the left side of the colon is the port on the host machine, and the port on the right side of the colon is the port in the Container.

With the -p option we bind a port on our host machine (in my case on the Mac) to a port in the Container.

With the SA_PASSWORD environment variable we set the password for the SA login.

In our case we have to accept the EULA to be able to use SQL Server.

With the -e option you set an environment variable, on which SQL Server is dependent on.

As you can see from the command line, you have to pass in a lot of different parameters.
