I may have missed it, but is there a video tutorial for installing sqlite? I'm looking outside treehouse and not being successful. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

$ python
Python 3.8.5 (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sqlite3
>>> sqlite3.sqlite_version
'3.31.1'
For python documentation, see sqlite3
Post back if you have more questions. Good luck!!

One helpful tip:
Use
Ctrl + D
to exit out the SQLite3 REPL
I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!

Python Development Techdegree Student 4,369 PointsThis is what I get when I try to access my database using sqlite3.exe pets.db in the terminal as she does in the video:
The term 'sqlite3.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1
Do you know what this means?

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsIt seems that sqlite3.exe is not on your path. As a temporary fix, perhaps you need something like:
$env:PATH += ';G:\SQLite3'where the path is the directory where sqlite3.exe is installed.
For a more permanent fix, add the directory to your System Property Environment Variables.
