Binaries

Please see the section about Installing in the README to get a grasp of how node-sqlite3 binaries work.

Help

If you've landed here due to a failed install of node-sqlite3 then feel free to create a new issue to ask for help.

The most likely problem is that we do not yet provide prebuilt binaries for your particular platform and so the node-sqlite3 install attempted a source compile but failed because you are missing the dependencies for node-gyp.

Please provide as much detail on your problem as possible and we'll try to help. Please include:

• Terminal logs of failed install (best from running npm install sqlite3 --loglevel=info)
• node-sqlite3 version you tried to install
• Node version you are running
• Operating system and architecture you are running, e.g. Windows 7 64 bit.

Forcing a source compile

To force building from source do:

npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source=sqlite3

or, if you are installing an app that depends on `sqlite3:

npm install --build-from-source=sqlite3

Installing an alternative arch

To request an (additional) arch be installed that is different from the value of process.arch for your running node version you can pass --target_arch. For example, to install a 32bit binary on the 64 bit system do:

npm install sqlite3 --target_arch=ia32
