How To Install SQLite on Debian 10

Install SQLite on Debian 10

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install SQLite on Debian 10. For those of you who didn’t know, SQLite is a lightweight command-line database program. It is one of the nearly efficient database engines on the planet. In part, thanks to that manufactured in C Language which makes this very efficient in managing the assets of the system.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by-step installation of SQLite on a Debian 10 (Buster).

Prerequisites

  • A server running one of the following operating systems: Debian 10 (Buster).
  • It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
  • A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.

Install SQLite on Debian 10 Buster

Step 1. Before we install any software, it’s important to make sure your system is up to date by running the following apt commands in the terminal:

sudo apt update

Step 2. Installing SQLite on Debian 10.

To start sqlite3 run the following command:

$ sqlite3
