Why should I install the Microsoft Download Manager?

Generally, a download manager enables downloading of large files or multiples files in one session.Many web browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9, include a download manager.Stand-alone download managers also are available, including the Microsoft Download Manager.

if you do not have a download manager installed, and still want to download the file(s) you've chosen, please note:

  • You may not be able to download multiple files at the same time.In this case, you will have to download the files individually.(You would have the opportunity to download individual files on the "Thank you for downloading" page after completing your download.)
  • Files larger than 1 GB may take much longer to download and might not download correctly.
  • You might not be able to pause the active downloads or resume downloads that have failed.

The Microsoft Download Manager solves these potential problems.It gives you the ability to download multiple files at one time and download large files quickly and reliably.It also allows you to suspend active downloads and resume downloads that have failed.

Microsoft Download Manager is free and available for download now.

      Extract the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux package:
      1. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded sqlncli-11.0.1790.0.tar.gz and extract it:
        cd ~/Downloads/
        tar xvf sqlncli-11.0.1790.0.tar.gz.


      Install the unixODBC 2.3.0 Driver Manager:
      1. Make sure that you have root permissions.
      2. Remove any older installed version of unixODBC (for example, unixODBC 2.2.11): yum remove unixODBC
      3. Change to the sqlncli-11.0.1790.0 directory, where you can run build_dm.sh to install the unixODBC Driver Manager:
        cd ./sqlncli-11.0.1790.0
        ./build_dm.sh --help
      4. You can install the driver manager by executing the following command:
        ./build_dm.sh
        Note: you can also download the driver manager manually at http://www.unixodbc.org/ and use the downloaded archive locally:
        ./build_dm.sh --download-url=file://unixODBC-2.3.0.tar.gz
      5. Type "YES" to proceed with unpacking the files. This part of the process can take up to five minutes to complete.
      6. After the script stops running, follow the instructions on the screen to install the unixODBC Driver Manager.

      Install the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux:
      1. Make sure that you have root permissions.
      2. Change to the sqlncli-11.0.1790.0 directory, where you can run install.sh to install the driver:
        cd ./sqlncli-11.0.1790.0
        ./install.sh --help
      3. (Optional) You may want to make a backup of odbcinst.ini. The driver installation will update odbcinst.ini. odbcinst.ini contains the list of drivers that are registered with the unixODBC Driver Manager. Execute the following command to discover the location of odbcinst.ini on your computer:
        odbc_config –odbcinstini.
      4. Before you install the driver, you may run a verify step to check if your computer has the required software to support the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux:
        ./install.sh verify
      5. When you are ready to install the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux, run the install script:
        ./install.sh install
      6. After reviewing the license agreement, type "YES" to continue with the installation.
      7. Verify that Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux was registered successfully:
        odbcinst -q -d -n "SQL Server Native Client 11.0"


      Upgrade from Community Technology Preview

      If you previously installed the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver for Linux Community Technology Preview (CTP), it is important to remove the CTP before installing the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux. However, you do not need to uninstall or reinstall the unixODBC 2.3.0 Driver Manager that you used with the CTP.

      Download the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux package for your platform by clicking one of the download buttons.
