In this section, you will get SQL Server 2017 running on Docker. After that you will install the necessary dependencies to create Ruby apps with SQL Server.
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.

You have successfully installed Ruby on your Mac. You now have everything you need to start writing your Ruby apps with SQL Server!
Install Ruby with rbenv
I decided to setup Octopress on my Mac so that I can publish blog posts from either Windows or MacOS. I’m on OS X 10.8.2.
I tried to follow the Octopress instructions for installing Ruby but ran into a few problems.

But instead I had 3 warnings.
This one can be fixed by modifying your
.profile

Ploughing on…
Install rbenv
Rbenv handles the installation of multiple Ruby environments.
Install gcc
If I try to install Ruby immediately, I get
XCode used to ship with a compatible gcc, but no longer does. We can install it with Homebrew.
