Learn how to install the Azure storage emulator and its dependency SQL Server Express LocalDB. With the locally installed storage emulator, we can develop and test while offline or in an isolated environment.
- [Instructor] We've created Azure store accounts…on the Azure cloud,…but that requires a network connection.…And sometimes you want to develop offline…or in an isolated environment.…And for that, there is the Azure storage emulator.…This might make it possible for you to…test and de-bug a little bit faster,…or at least work in an isolated environment…until you're ready to deploy.…The storage emulator is not 100% compatible…with the Azure API in the cloud.…There are more features in the cloud…than available locally,…but it'll get you most of the way there.…In the documentation, there is an installer available.…
I'll click on stand alone installer, run.…And if you accept the license agreement,…check the box, install, and finish.…Now the storage emulator does need storage,…and it uses SQL server.…And for that, we'll use SQL Server Express LocalDB.…It's a nice and small installation.…So from the documentation page for SQL Server downloads,…go to express edition.…Run, this is a small network installer.…
But instead of installing, we'll ask for the ISO.…
