Step 1.1 Install SQL Server

1. In order to run SQL Server on your Mac, we are going to use the SQL Server on Linux Docker Image. For this, you need to install Docker for Mac.
2. Configure at least 4GB of memory for your Docker environment, also consider adding multiple cores if you want to evaluate performance. You can do this in the Preferences - Advanced option on the menu bar.
3. Next, start a new Terminal prompt and use the following commands to download and start the SQL Server on Linux Docker image. Make sure to use a strong password with special characters.

You now have SQL Server running locally in Docker! Check out the next section to continue installing prerequisites.

Step 1.2 Install Homebrew and .NET Core

1. The macOS 10.15.4 SDK provides support to develop apps for Macs running macOS Catalina 10.15.4. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 11.4, available from the Mac App Store. For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 11.4, see Xcode 11.4 Release Notes.

3. Some can even open and edit MDB databases on a Mac and they all work with the latest versions of macOS including Big Sur and Catalina. After hours of research, we found the best Microsoft Access alternative for Mac is Knack which makes database creation and creating business apps on a Mac so much easier, quicker and powerful than using Access.

If you already have .NET Core installed on your machine, skip this step.

Install .NET Core by downloading the official installer. This installer will install the tools and put them on your PATH so you can run dotnet from the Console.

You have successfully installed .NET Core on your Mac. You now have everything you need to start writing your C# apps with SQL Server!
