I understand the source of your confusion.  Unlike other database systems there 
is no 'SQLite installation'.  Each programmer who wants to use SQLite includes 
it in their program.  There's no central library, no SQLite server, and no 
place to look for configuration files.  Programs which use SQLite have 
everything they need inside the program and don't depend on any external files.

If you want to play with SQLite yourself without having to write your own 
software then you should download the 'Precompiled Binaries' from the web site. 
This includes a SQLITE3.EXE which is a command line shell which lets you issue 
your own SQL commands and see the results.  Just like other programs it doesn't 
depend on a library or server: everything it uses is compiled into the 
application.

Re: [sqlite] Help Installing SQLite on a Windows 8.1 PC

Hi Krista,

Regarding: I have downloaded the two 64-bit Windows files on my Windows 8.1
PC,

Are you referring to sqlite.exe and maybe sqlite.dll ?


Regarding:  but I cannot get SQLite to install on my PC.

I'm not sure I understand you.   Maybe you could rewrite this in form of
something like:

I did X and I expected Y, but instead I see Z.

Are you trying to install the command line standalone program, sqlite.exe?
  You just place it either in your current directory or somewhere in your
windows path.   I assume you're sure you have a 64-bit version of windows
installed.

Your fellow students and instructor should also be able to help I should
hope.

Donald
