Not really an issue perse, but your documentation suggests this is only for Windows OS, right?

Where?
I should update the documentation. It is also available for Linux .
"rsqlserver is currently available only on github. It is available for windows user and Linux user."
In prereqs it repeatedly mentions "Windows" and "Microsoft" with Windows OS and .NET stuff
The interoperability of R and .NET code relies on the rClr package. You can download an installable R package for windows (zip file). Please Make sure to at least skim through the installation instructions.. Under windows it is better to use the zip package. First you install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013
The rsqlserver package uses the .NET framework SDK to build a small C# project. Typically if you have on your machine the file "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe", you can skip this paragraph. Otherwise you need to install the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4. An overview of list of Microsoft SDKs is available here
I'm a Mac user and figuring out how to set up a way to get to MSSQL without Parallels would be awesome. Any suggestions towards that?
I think you'd have lots of love from a how-to in your documentation OR function for solving that problem.
The package is available for linux and windows users.
I repeatedly mentioned windows in the documentation, because historically first version of the package was only available on windows.
Unfortunately , I had never have the opportunity to port the code to MAC for the simple reason that I don't have a MAC machine. Theoretically this is can be done using MONO-MAC.
I am studying to create a docker bundle. I think this option (mentioned also by other rsqlserver users) is the best option. I need some time or money to do it :)
Thanks!
