This release of Azure Data Studio includes a standard Windows installer experience and a .zip file.
We recommend the
user installer
, which simplifies installations and updates and doesn't require administrator privileges because the location is under your user Local AppData (LOCALAPPDATA) folder.
The user installer also provides a smoother background update experience. For more information, see
User setup for Windows
.
winget (Windows Package Manager CLI)
Install the
Windows Package Manager Client
if you don't already have it.
Run the following command to install
Azure Data Studio
.
winget install "azure data studio"
You can also install Azure Data Studio by using a command prompt script.
For Windows, install Azure Data Studio in the background without prompts using the following steps:
Open the command prompt window with elevated permissions.
Run the following command:
<path where the azuredatastudio-windows-user-setup-x.xx.x.exe file is located> /VERYSILENT /MERGETASKS=!runcode>
Example:
%systemdrive%\azuredatastudio-windows-user-setup-1.24.0.exe /VERYSILENT /MERGETASKS=!runcode
Note
The following example also works with the system installer file.
<path where the azuredatastudio-windows-setup-x.xx.x.exe file is located> /VERYSILENT /MERGETASKS=!runcode>
In the preceding code, you can also pass
/SILENT
instead of
/VERYSILENT
to see the setup user interface.
If you've run the commands successfully, you can see Azure Data Studio installed.
