1. make sure you have the latest Xcode installed (it is free to download with a free developer account). 2. download the sqlite source. I use the amalgamation. 3. untar the source, make, sudo make install. That's all. Everything will magically work. Your sqlite will be installed in /usr/local. Make sure /usr/local is in your path, and you will be able to use sqlite3 from anywhere.
