Run MS SQL Server Express on Linux Mint

Question

I am aware that MS SQL Server 2016 is compatible with Linux. Despite this flavor of SQL, I am needing to run SQL Express for training purposes. Is there a method to successfully operate Microsoft SQL Server Express in the Linux Mint environment?

I think this is an interesting question and shouldn't be marked down. After searching online, i came up with his tutorial on setting up mssql server on linux. I tested on linux mint 18.1.
