Installing¶
From your distribution¶
Many Linux distributions have packaged Sqliteman for years. A package built from version 2 or later is this program; one at 1.2 or older is the Qt 4 original, which is no longer maintained.
From source¶
The source is on GitHub, github.com/pvanek/sqliteman. It builds with CMake on Linux, macOS and Windows; see building for what it needs and how.
In short:
git clone https://github.com/pvanek/sqliteman.git
cmake -S sqliteman -B build
cmake --build build
cmake --install build # or run build/src/app/sqliteman
Which SQLite¶
Sqliteman needs SQLite 3.38 or later, built with column metadata, as most
distributions build it. When the system has no such SQLite, or when asked
to with -DSQLITEMAN_BUNDLED_SQLITE=ON, the build downloads a pinned
SQLite and puts it inside the program. That copy comes with full-text
search (FTS4 and FTS5), R*Tree and Geopoly, the math functions and the
dbstat table switched on.
The status bar of the main window says which SQLite the program runs on.
