## Installation
The easiest way to get up and running with SQL Server on SilverStripe is using the installer:
These steps will install the latest SilverStripe stable, along with this module using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/):
* Visit [http://www.silverstripe.org/microsoft-sql-server-database/](http://www.silverstripe.org/microsoft-sql-server-database/) and download the latest stable version
* Extract the contents so they reside as an **mssql** directory inside your SilverStripe project code
* Open the installer by browsing to install.php, e.g. **http://localhost/silverstripe/install.php**
* Install SilverStripe: `composer create-project silverstripe/installer /my/website/folder`
* Install module: `cd /my/website/folder && composer require silverstripe/mssql "*"`
* Open the SilverStripe installer by browsing to install.php, e.g. **http://localhost/silverstripe/install.php**
* Select **SQL Server 2008+** in the database list and enter your SQL Server database details
