There are several methods to install SQLite.

  1. Download the installation program from the official SQLite website: You can find the appropriate installation program for your operating system on the download page of the SQLite official website (https://www.sqlite.org/download.html). After downloading, run the installation program and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
  2. Install SQLite using the package management tool of your operating system: Some operating systems, such as Linux and macOS, provide package management tools that allow you to install SQLite directly through the command line. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use the following command to install SQLite:
  3. Install sqlite3 using the command “sudo apt-get install sqlite3”
  4. Precompiled binary files: SQLite also offers some precompiled binary files that can be downloaded and used directly after unzipping. This method is suitable for situations where installation programs or package management tools cannot be used. You can find the binary files suitable for your operating system on the precompiled binary files page of the SQLite official website (https://www.sqlite.org/download.html).

The main method for configuring SQLite is to set up an environment variable so that the system can locate the SQLite executable file. The specific steps are as follows:

  1. Open the command line terminal.
  2. Enter the following command to add the installation path of SQLite to the system’s PATH environment variable (for Windows operating system):
  3. Add the path “C:\sqlite” to the existing PATH environment variable.
  4. Please modify the installation path of SQLite to C:\sqlite according to specific circumstances.
  5. Restart the computer to apply the changes to the environment variables.

After the setup is complete, you can directly use SQLite commands in the command line terminal. For example, you can open the SQLite command line interface by entering the following command:

sqlite3

By following the steps above, you can successfully install and configure SQLite.
