Not a stupid question, but a case of mismatched expectations.
Yes, you would run it from the Terminal. It is a command line program
that the purveyors of this fine product have already compiled for you.
After you have extracted the .gz to .bin, chmod it to be executable,
then run it. Here are the steps more graphically --
1. Download
2. Extract
$ tar xzf sqlite3-3_5_8-osx-x86.bin.gz
3. The .gz file is now .bin. chmod it to be executable
$ chmod +x sqlite3-3_5_8-osx-x86.bin
4. Now run it
$ ./sqlite3-3_5_8-osx-x86.bin
Make it easy for yourself. Rename it to something shorter, like, say, sqlite3
