Launch PowerShell with elevated permissions.

Type the following command.

$media_path = "<path where SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe file is located>"
$install_path = "<root location where all SSMS files will be installed>"
$params = " /Install /Quiet SSMSInstallRoot=$install_path"
Start-Process -FilePath $media_path -ArgumentList $params -Wait
For example:
$media_path = "C:\Installers\SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe"
$install_path = "$env:SystemDrive\SSMSto"
$params = "/Install /Quiet SSMSInstallRoot=`"$install_path`""
Start-Process -FilePath $media_path -ArgumentList $params -Wait
You can also pass /Passive instead of /Quiet to see the setup UI.
If all goes well, you can see SSMS installed at %systemdrive%\SSMSto\Common7\IDE\Ssms.exe based on the example. If something went wrong, you could inspect the error code returned and review the log file in %TEMP%\SSMSSetup.
Uninstall
SSMS might install shared components if it determines they're missing during SSMS installation. SSMS doesn't automatically uninstall these components when you uninstall SSMS.
The shared components are:
Microsoft OLE DB Driver 18 for SQL Server
Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x64)
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2019
These components aren't uninstalled because they can be shared with other products. If uninstalled, you might run the risk of disabling other products.
Installation with Azure Data Studio
SSMS installs Azure Data Studio by default for versions 18.7 through 19.3.  SSMS does not install Azure Data Studio with SSMS 20.0 and higher.
The installation of Azure Data Studio by SSMS is skipped if an equal or higher version of Azure Data Studio is already installed.
The Azure Data Studio version can be found in the release notes.
The Azure Data Studio system installer requires the same security rights as the SSMS installer.
The Azure Data Studio installation is completed with the default Azure Data Studio installation options. These are to create a Start Menu folder and add Azure Data Studio to PATH. A desktop shortcut isn't created, and Azure Data Studio isn't registered as a default editor for any file type.
Localization of Azure Data Studio is accomplished through Language Pack extensions. Install the corresponding language pack from the extension marketplace to localize Azure Data Studio.
For versions 18.7 through 19.3, the installation of Azure Data Studio can be skipped by launching the SSMS installer with the command line flag DoNotInstallAzureDataStudio=1.
Supported SQL offerings
This version of SSMS works with SQL Server 2014 (12.x) and later versions. It provides the most significant support for working with the latest cloud features in Azure SQL Database, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Microsoft Fabric.
Additionally, SSMS 20.x can be installed alongside with SSMS 19.x, SSMS 18.x, SSMS 17.x, and SSMS 16.x.
For SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), SSMS 17.x and later versions don't support connecting to the legacy SQL Server Integration Services service. To connect to an earlier version of the legacy Integration Services, use the version of SSMS aligned with the version of SQL Server. For example, use SSMS 16.x to connect to the legacy SQL Server 2016 (13.x) Integration Services service. SSMS 17.x and SSMS 16.x can be installed on the same computer. Since the release of SQL Server 2012 (11.x), the SSIS Catalog database, SSISDB, is the recommended way to store, manage, run, and monitor Integration Services packages. See SSIS Catalog for details.
