If you do not already own SQL Server, you can use SQL Server Express. You can download SQL Server 2014 Express at: . After downloading the software, proceed with “Install SQL Server Express.”
IMPORTANT:We do not recommend that you install the Engine on the same server running SQL Server. If you will be using SQL Server Express, you can run it on the same server host, but you will most likely experience better performance if they are running on separate server. You can download Express from Microsoft (SQL Express 2012), (SQL Express 2014). (We recommend SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe as that package includes management tools.)
If you already own a version of SQL Server, proceed with Section 3.3, Install a New Instance of SQL Server.
