## Step 2. Download MS SQL Server
MS SQL Server can be installed on many different operating systems. Refer to the [MS SQL Server downloads page](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads), for a complete list of all available options.
Alternately, if you are working on Mac or Linux, then you can install MS SQL Server using the resources available in [grafana/grafana](https://github.com/grafana/grafana) GitHub repository (recommended). Here you will find a collection of supported data sources, including MS SQL Server, along with test data and pre-configured dashboards for use.
> **Note:** Installing MS SQL Server on Windows from the [grafana/grafana](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/tree/master/devenv) GitHub repository is not supported at this time.
MS SQL Server can be installed on Windows or Linux operating systems and also on Docker containers. Refer to the [MS SQL Server downloads page](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads), for a complete list of all available options.
## Step 3. Install MS SQL Server
You can install MS SQL Server on the host running Grafana or on a remote server. To install the software from the [downloads page](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads), follow their setup prompts.
Otherwise, follow the instructions below to install and configure MS SQL Server from the [grafana/grafana](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/tree/master) repository.
1. Clone the [grafana/grafana](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/tree/master) repository to your local system.
1. Install Docker or verify that it is installed on your machine.
1. Within your local `grafana` repository, change directory to [devenv](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/tree/master/devenv).
1. Run the bash command to setup data sources and dashboards.
```
./setup.sh
```
1. Restart the Grafana server.
1. Change directory back to [master](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/tree/master/devenv).
1. Run the make command to create the MS SQL Server database.
```
make devenv sources=mssql
```
This creates an image of the SQL Server database and runs it as a Docker container.
If you are on a Windows host but want to use Grafana and MS SQL data source on a Linux environment, refer to the [WSL to set up your Grafana development environment](https://grafana.com/blog/2021/03/03/.how-to-set-up-a-grafana-development-environment-on-a-windows-pc-using-wsl). This will allow you to leverage the resources available in [grafana/grafana](https://github.com/grafana/grafana) GitHub repository. Here you will find a collection of supported data sources, including MS SQL Server, along with test data and pre-configured dashboards for use.
## Step 4. Adding the MS SQL data source
To add MS SQL Server data source:
