10. How to Get SQL Ops Studio
Windows – Download and run the installer from aka.ms/sqlopsstudio (linked as Download page)
Linux – Depends on the distro – download the appropriate package, update the package store, and install with yum or apt‐get
Mac – download the Zip file, expand it and drag sqlops.app to the Applications folder
sudo yum install ~/Downloads/sqlops-linux
Not really sure why the downloads are stored in AWS – maybe Github doesn’t support Azure file storage?
