title: Install Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server in Ubuntu 16.04
body: <p>I am trying to install ODBC Driver 13 on Ubuntu 16.04 but after installation still, the driver is missing. I followed the steps from <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this page</a>, but when I want to connect, the driver still missing.</p>
  
  <p>Below code is also return empty array:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pyodbc
  print(pyodbc.drivers())
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Furthermore when I want to install via:</p>
  
  <pre><code>wget https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ODBC-Driver-13-for-Ubuntu-b87369f0/file/154097/2/installodbc.sh
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>inside of the <code>installodbc.sh</code> the part below gives me an error which cannot find the <code>./install.sh</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "Installing the Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server- Ubuntu"
  sudo bash ./install.sh install --force --accept-license
  echo "Cleaning up"
  rm -rf /tmp/msodbcubuntu
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I tried all the possible answers on the internet still the driver is missing and I can't establish the connection.</p>
