Introduction


This chapter will show you how to install and configure SQL Server Analysis Services in tabular mode on a Windows Server 2012 R2. At the end of this chapter, you will have a server set up and configured to leverage for a development environment. As part of the installation, you will install the SQL Database engine to be used later as a data source for the tabular model. Once installed, you will set up the development software on the same server that will allow you to create models. Finally, you will create a project and learn how to configure the workspace server and project settings that allow you to deploy the project to a server.

This setup assumes you have the operating system installed and running with an account with administrator privileges. On this server is where you will begin to learn how tabular mode works, how to interact with data in the model, and how to set up deployment options.
