Download SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition

First, let’s download SQL Server installation media from the official website.

Step 1
Download installation media from this https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads

After download finished, then you can click Open Folder

Step 4

Extract/Mount ISO file, then click setup.exe

Then follow instruction below:


It will check some feature rules/prerequisites and then you will see the Instance
Configuration screen. Here you can choose between Default Instance and Named Instance.
Here I will go with Named Instance.
Default Instance
When SQL Server is installed in the default instance, it does not require a client to specify
the name of the instance to make a connection. The client only has to know the server
name. For example, HARDIK-PC.
Named Instance

A named instance is identified by the network name of the computer plus the instance
you specify during the installation. The client must specify both the server name and the
instance name when connecting. For example, HARDIK-PC/MSSQLSERVER.

Next, you will see the Server Configuration window. In Service Accounts tab,
select Automatic in Startup Type for SQL Server Agent, SQL Server Database
Engine, and SQL Server Browser services.
Next, you will see the Database Engine Configuration window. In the Server
Configuration tab, choose Mixed Mode in the authentication mode section and enter a strong
password. In Specify SQL Server administrators section, your current windows user should
already be added automatically. If not, click on Add Current User button.
In the Data Directories tab, specify locations for database files and backup files. By default, it
saves all the files on a C drive but it is not recommended to store database files on an OS drive
because if any OS-related issue occurs then we may lose our data. Therefore, I choose D drive on
my local machine.
Now, the installation will start and it may take some time based on our configurations.
Click Close button.

Then please click “Install SQL Server Management Tool”. The SQL Server Management Tool is used to
connect and manage SQL database.
After click “Install SQL Server Management Tools”, it will open browser and go to download page. Then
download the SQL Server Management Tools to install.
