???

SQLite is a library, not a database server. There's no install step - it's a single .C file (and a header, if you're into that). Most of the major scripting languages have rock-solid bindings that don't require any additional system libraries or software installs.

Python (in the stdlib!): https://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html

Nodejs (prebuilt): https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=sqlite

Ruby (needs libs, which are preinstalled on macOS): https://rubygems.org/search?utf8=&query=sqlite3



you are right. this was also many years ago so my memory might fail me. Perhaps my internal server didn't have access to npmjs.
