I have installed MS SQL Server Management Studio 2017. After installing, when I try to connect to the local host by typing either "127.0.0.1" or "local" or "." (dot) in the server name field, I get following pop up. SQL Server error popup image

When I tried googling things, I got to know that starting SQL server services in services.msc would solve the problem but when I opened services.msc, I couldn't find any service listed which was related to SQL Server Management Studio.

I am a newbie here. Haven't worked with any such tool before. any help would be appreciated.

Installing Management Studio does not installs SQL Server database engine. You need to install SQL Server also.
