  • Download DB Browser for SQLite for Mac - Small open source application designed to further simplify the process of creating, browsing, editing and managing SQLite database files without using SQL commands.
  • JDBC drivers are Java library files with the extension.jar used by all Java applications to connect to the database. Usually, they are provided by the same company which implemented the Sqlite software. DbSchema Tool already includes an Sqlite driver, which is automatically downloaded when you connect to Sqlite.
  • Mac Machine SQLite Installation Instructions. Download sqlite from download page. Use terminal to navigate to the location of the file. Enter code “mv sqlite3 /usr/local/bin/”.
