Where can I find sqlite3? https://www.tweaking4all.com/forum/qnap-nas/qnap-location-of-sqlite3-where-can-i-find-sqlite3/#post-4191 Sat, 14 May 2022 08:44:50 +0000 It seems that sqlite3 (standard command line tool to work with SQLite databases), is nowhere to be found in the default search path of your QNAP.
However, I found it to be install several times ...

With SSH, go to your QNAP and cd to the root and do a search for sqlite3:

cd /
find -name sqlite3

 

Depending on the storage capacity on your QNAP this may take a while, and possibly produce a list, something like this:

 # find -name sqlite3                                                                  
./share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/CloudLink/python/lib/python2.7/sqlite3
./share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/CodexPack/usr/lib/python3.6/sqlite3
./share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Qmono/bin/sqlite3

 

Many many more were listed - caution hower: some of these are directories and not executable, so verify that before linking!
You could make a link in the directory you're working in (just an example - you may not have mono installed):

ln -s /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Qmono/bin/sqlite3 .

 

Or even better, in a location that is found in (or added to) the PATH environment variable.
I did notice that "/opt/bin" seems common, but I did not have that directory so I had to create it and it to the env variable.

mkdir /opt/bin
export PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH
cd /opt/bin
ln -s /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Qmono/bin/sqlite3 .

 

You'll have "sqlite3" now available no matter where you're at 😁
