In this tip, we will demonstrate the installation of SQL Server 2014
on a notebook. While processing large amounts of data on a system like
this might not be feasible, one can still learn how to configure and use
the features of SQL Server 2014.
Note: Before starting make sure you are connected to a network and have Internet access.
After launching the setup application, the following pop-up window might appear. It might appear several times throughout the installation process.
The SQL Server Installation Center window will display. Along the
left side of the window are the categories showing how the SQL Server
Installation Center is organized. On the right side of the window are
different actions the installer can take. Notice that some of the items
allow the installer to view documentation while other items will make
changes to the system. By the default the Planning category is
displayed.
Clicking on Installation on the left side will display the different
installation options. For this tip, we will click on "New SQL Server
stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation".
This will launch the SQL Server 2014 Setup application.
The SQL Server 2014 Setup application lists the steps it will follow
on the left side of the window. Enter the product key and click "Next
>".
Review the license terms, click on "I accept the license terms", and then click "Next >".
The SQL Server 2014 Setup application will run multiple checks for
rules during the installation process. If a rule check fails, the setup
application will provide the corrective measures to take so installation
may proceed. The setup application will also search for product
updates.
The setup application will download, extract and install files needed
to carry out the installation process. Click on "Next >" to
continue.
Another rule check will be run to ensure everything is in place so
the setup will be successful. If a rule check fails, the setup
application will provide the corrective measures to take so installation
may proceed. Click on "Next >" to continue.
On the Setup Role screen, we will click on the SQL Server Feature
Installation radio button. This will allow us to install the database
engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, Integration Services and
other features of SQL Server 2014. Click on "Next >" to continue.
The next step is the feature selection. This allows the installer to
pick and choose the features to be installed. On the right side of the
window, the disk space requirements are displayed. At the bottom, the
installer can choose the path for the instance root and shared feature
directories. Click on "Next >" to continue.
Sometimes a "Please Wait..." pop-up box might appear.
The Instance Configuration screen allows the installer to specify the
name of the instance and its ID. This screen will also display other
installed instances.
The Server Configuration screen shows the services to be installed,
the service account name and the Startup Type. If you are installing SQL
Server 2014 on a device with limited resources then the Startup Type
should be set to Automatic (Delayed Start). Click on "Next >".
On the Server Configuration tab of the Database Engine Configuration
screen, select your preferred Authentication Mode and specify your SQL
Server administrators.
On the Data Directories tab of the Database Engine Configuration
screen, specify your preferred directories for the data root, system
database, user database, user database log, temp database, temp database
log, and backup. Click on "Next >".
On the Server Configuration tab of the Analysis Services
Configuration screen, select your preferred Server Mode and specify your
Analysis Services administrators.
On the Data Directories tab of the Analysis Services Configuration
screen, specify your preferred directories. Click on "Next >".
On the Reporting Services Configuration, select Install and configure. Click on "Next >" to continue.
The Ready to Install screen displays all of the features and
prerequisites to be installed. At this point, the installer can still go
back to make changes or quit the process. Click on "Install" to begin
the installation of the SQL Server 2014 components.
The installation progress bar tracks the status of the installation.
Upon completion of the installation, click on "Close" to exit the SQL Server 2014 Setup.
The SQL Server Installation Center can now be closed.
Note: Before starting make sure you are connected to a network and have Internet access.
After launching the setup application, the following pop-up window might appear. It might appear several times throughout the installation process.
