Install DBeaver on a Mac

How to install DBeaver on a Mac so you can manage SQL Server and other database management systems.

DBeaver is a database management tool with a graphical interface similar to SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). However, SSMS is only available on Windows machines, so if you run Mac or Linux, you need to look for alternatives.

Fortunately, DBeaver steps up as a popular (and free) alternative.

Here are instructions for installing DBeaver on a Mac.

  1. Download DBeaver

    Go to the DBeaver download page, and click the pkg installer + JRE option.
