I am trying to use SQL Server Management Studio 2017 with local database. When i try to connect to local database i get this

error

I installed SQL Server Management Studio from this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017

I was searching the web for solution but i haven't found it yet. When i open SQL server configuration manager

this

is what i see.

I also tried using different server names but i haven't had much luck with that. Maybe i need to install some additional software?

Clearly you have not installed SQL Server. :) SSMS is not SQL Server; it is (as it's name suggests) a Management Tool for SQL Server.Larnu
