During the install process, check that you actually install the SQL Server Database Engine
and not only SQL Server Management Studio
. Management Studio is only the client software to access an instance of SQL Server somewhere (locally or on a remote server), while the database engine is actually the server software of SQL Server, hosting actual databases.

I'm trying to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 on Windows 8. After installing, I am unable to connect to local server and when I check SQL Configuration Manager, I found out that no sql services is running. I re-installed it many times but still no luck. Why sql services is not running ?
