Prerequisites

You must have a Ubuntu 16.04 machine with at least 3.25GB of memory.

For other system requirements, see System requirements for SQL Server on Linux.

Install SQL Server

1. Import the public repository GPG keys:

curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add -

2. Register the Microsoft SQL Server Ubuntu repository:

sudo add-apt-repository "$(curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/mssql-server-2017.list)"

3. Run the following commands to install SQL Server:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mssql-server

4. After the package installation finishes, run mssql-conf setup and follow the prompts to set the SA password and choose your edition.

sudo /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf setup

5. Once the configuration is done, verify that the service is running:

systemctl status mssql-server

6. If you plan to connect remotely, you might also need to open the SQL Server TCP port (default 1433) on your firewall.
