Question

Our rails app runs on a ubuntu 10.04 server with sqlite3 database. How can we fire up sqlite3 console on the server? When typing sqlite3 ex1 under current/db/, there is error saying that sqlite3 not installed. However with “gem list”, it shows sqlite3 1.3.5 installed.

Thanks so much.

Answer 1

The SQLite gem may be installed, but SQLite itself isn’t

apt-get install sqlite3

Note: Not sure how Ubuntu handles this, but if sqlite3 isn’t a valid command, test also:

# Is any sqlite installed?
$ which sqlite

# If so, what version
$ sqlite --version
