In this section, you will get SQL Server 2017 running on Docker. After that, you will install the necessary dependencies to create Node.js apps with SQL Server locally on your Mac.
As Apple says, 'The technologies that define today's Mac experience—such as Metal graphics acceleration—work only with 64-bit apps. To ensure that the apps you purchase are as advanced as the Mac you run them on, all future Mac software will eventually be required to be 64-bit.' The gist is that it basically extends the JS engine for you to write a web-based app supporting node's extended object model, and modules. You then package your package.json start.html modules and js files into a zip (with the.nw extension) and run it with nw(.exe). There are windows, mac and linux builds available.
An Azure account with an active subscription. Create an account for free. Node.js and npm. Run the command node -version to verify that Node.js is installed. Visual Studio Code. The Azure App Service extension for Visual Studio Code. Clone and run a local Node.js application. The generated Express application has a package.json file which includes a start script to run node./bin/www. This will start the Node.js application running. From a terminal in the Express application folder, run: npm start. The Node.js web server will start and you can browse to to see the running application. Great code editing.
Step 1.1 Install SQL Server
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Node.js
- How to run iptv player app on mac. Install Homebrew.
- Restart the terminal session.
- Install Node.js

You now have Node.js installed! The next section will walk you through getting the tools to interact with your database.
Step 1.3 Install the ODBC Driver and SQL Command Line Utility for SQL Server
Run A Node App On Mac Computer
SQLCMD is a command line utility that enables you to connect to SQL Server and run queries.
After installing SQLCMD, you can connect to SQL Server using the following command:
Run A Node App On Macbook
This how to run a basic inline query. Is there a sharepoint desktop app for mac. The results will be printed to the STDOUT.
You have successfully installed SQL Server Command Line Utilities on your macOS machine!
You now have everything you need to start writing Node.js apps with SQL Server! How come apps dont work on macbook.
