Quickstart: Install SQL Server and create a database on Ubuntu

[!INCLUDE SQL Server - Linux]

::: moniker range="=sql-server-linux-2017 || =sql-server-2017"

In this quickstart, you install [!INCLUDE sssql17-md] on Ubuntu 18.04. Then you can connect with sqlcmd to create your first database and run queries.

For more information on supported platforms, see Release notes for SQL Server 2017 on Linux.

In this quickstart, you install [!INCLUDE sssql19-md] on Ubuntu 20.04. Then you can connect with sqlcmd to create your first database and run queries.

For more information on supported platforms, see Release notes for SQL Server 2019 on Linux.

Tip

This tutorial requires user input and an internet connection. If you're interested in the unattended or offline installation procedures, see Installation guidance for SQL Server on Linux.

If you choose to have a preinstalled SQL Server virtual machine (VM) on Ubuntu ready to run your production-based workload, then follow the best practices for creating the SQL Server VM.

::: moniker range="=sql-server-linux-ver15 || =sql-server-ver15"

Azure Marketplace images

You can create your VM based on one of the following two Azure Marketplace images:

When you use these images, you avoid the installation step, and can directly configure the instance by providing the SKU and the sa password needed to get started with [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md]. SQL Server Azure VMs deployed on Ubuntu Pro using the above Marketplace images, are fully supported by both Microsoft and Canonical.

You can configure SQL Server on Linux with mssql-conf, using the following command:

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

Azure Marketplace image

You can create your VM based on the following Azure Marketplace image: Ubuntu 20.04.

When you use this image, you avoid the installation step, and can directly configure the instance by providing the SKU and the sa password needed to get started with SQL Server. SQL Server Azure VMs deployed on Ubuntu Pro using the above Marketplace images, are fully supported by both Microsoft and Canonical.

You can configure SQL Server on Linux with mssql-conf, using the following command:

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

You must have an Ubuntu 18.04 machine with at least 2 GB of memory.

To install Ubuntu 18.04 on your own machine, go to https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/. You can also create Ubuntu virtual machines in Azure. See Tutorial: Create and Manage Linux VMs with the Azure CLI.

If you previously installed a Community Technology Preview (CTP) or Release Candidate (RC) of [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md], you must first remove the old repository before following these steps. For more information, see Configure repositories for installing and upgrading SQL Server on Linux.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux isn't supported as an installation target for [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md].

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

Install SQL Server

To configure [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] on Ubuntu, run the following commands in a terminal to install the mssql-server package.

::: moniker range="=sql-server-linux-2017 || =sql-server-2017"

  1. Import the public repository GPG keys:

    curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.asc

  2. Register the [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] Ubuntu repository:

    sudo add-apt-repository "$(wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/mssql-server-2017.list)"

    [!TIP]
    If you want to install a different version of [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md], see the [[!INCLUDE sssql19-md]](quickstart-install-connect-ubuntu.md?view=sql-server-linux-ver15&preserve-view=true#install) or [[!INCLUDE sssql22-md]](quickstart-install-connect-ubuntu.md?view=sql-server-linux-ver16&preserve-view=true#install) versions of this article.

  3. Run the following commands to install [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md]:

    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. As a reminder, the following [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] editions are freely licensed: Evaluation, Developer, and Express.

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

    [!CAUTION]
    [!INCLUDE password-complexity]

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

    systemctl status mssql-server --no-pager

  6. If you plan to connect remotely, you might also need to open the [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] TCP port (default 1433) on your firewall.

At this point, [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] is running on your Ubuntu machine and is ready to use.

Disable the SA account as a best practice
