I have already installed SQL Server 2017 and tested connection through command line in previous posts. I will be installing SSMS in this post. This is a great tool for Administration and Monitoring of SQL Server Databases and Azue SQL Databases.

To download SSMS, click on below URL:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017

I am installing SSMS 18.2. Follow the instructions and screenshots as below:

Go to Start Menu on your machine and launch Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

The IDE for SQL Server Management Studio is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18\Common7\IDE\ssms.exe
