Installation

Requirements

  • bash 3.2 or later
  • sqlite3 — pre-installed on macOS; install with apt install sqlite3 on Debian/Ubuntu
  • shellframe — required; installed automatically as a dependency when using Homebrew or macbin

From source

Clone the repository and run the install script:

Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/fissible/shellql.git
cd shellql
./install.sh

The installer places the shql binary on your PATH and bundles shellframe alongside it.

macbin

shellql is available via fissible/macbin:

Terminal window
macbin install shellql

Verifying the install

Terminal window
shql --version

Open a test database:

Terminal window
shql /path/to/any.db

Bundled shellframe

shellql bundles a compatible version of shellframe. You do not need a separate shellframe installation to use shellql, but if you develop shellframe-based apps yourself, be aware that shellql ships its own copy.
