Installing SQL on core

For example ..

setup.exe /q /iacceptsqlserverlicenseterms /action=install /features=sqlengine,replication /instanceid=SQLEXPRESS /instancename=SQLEXPRESS /usemicrosoftupdate

OR you can force enable the UI if (really?) necessary

setup.exe /uimode=EnableUIonServerCore

Don’t forget your firewall allow rules

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”Allow SQL TCP 54321″ protocol=TCP dir=in localport=54321 action=allow

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”Allow SQL UDP 1434″ protocol=UDP dir=in localport=1434 action=allow

And here is the setup help for reference
