Hello @HimanshuSinha-msft ,

Please kindly advise if there is any alternative for a OS X 10.10.5 mac user to download SSMS.
it is saying "You can’t open the application “SSMS-Setup-ENU (1).exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X."

thanks!

    Mac OS X is not one of the supported operating systems listed under SSMS System Requirements. Instead of SSMS, consider using Azure Data Studio (ADS), which is a cross-platform SQL Server tool that runs on MacOS and Linux as well as Windows.
