get SQLite3

SQLite3 is a lightweight database engine. It stores the entire contents of a database in a single file, thus it is very convenient for us.

The only thing you need to do is to download the SQLite3 libraries:

apt-get install libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev

download the required ruby gems

Please note you may need to instal gcc if it is not already installed (to compile the native bindings of the sqlite3-ruby gem).

Because ruby is an interpreted language, it needs bindings to link to some native libraries (you may need to become root for this):-

sqlite3-ruby gem
# gem install sqlite3-ruby -v=1.2.4
