SQLite | Installing SQLite

SQLite manages each database as a single file without using a database server. Because it does not use a database server, there is no separate application that must run continuously as a server. To use SQLite from the command line, you use a separate command-line interface program. To use it from PHP, Ruby on Rails, and similar environments, you need a DLL. This section explains how to download and install the SQLite command-line program and DLL.
