Linux Quick Start

SQLite on Linux supports dynamic extension loading via .so shared libraries.

This guide walks through how to load an extension named cloudsync.so on common Linux distributions via SQLite3 Command Line.

1. Install SQLite (Per Distribution)

sudo apt install sqlite3

sudo dnf install sqlite

pacman -Sy sqlite3

apk add sqlite

Go to sqlite-sync releases and download the extension.

For Alpine Linux: ensure to download the extension specifically for musl-x86_64 or musl-arm64 targets.

sqlite3

.load ./cloudsync.so
SELECT cloudsync_version();

Problem	Solution
`no such file or directory`	Ensure path to `.so` is correct and matches your platform.
`incompatible architecture`	Download extension for your Linux system (e.g., x86_64 vs arm64).
`Failed to load extension: symbol not found`	Download the extension for `musl-x86_64` or `musl-arm64` targets
