I downloaded the precompiled sqlite package from the official page

$ ls -l
total 4168
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ubuntu ubuntu  584260 Apr  2 23:40 sqldiff
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ubuntu ubuntu 1162244 Apr  2 23:41 sqlite3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ubuntu ubuntu 2516704 Apr  2 23:41 sqlite3_analyzer

However, running it this way doesn't work

./sqlite3
-bash: ./sqlite3: No such file or directory

file command gives this

$ file ./sqlite3
./sqlite3: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-, for GNU/Linux 4.3.0, stripped

uname command gives this

$ uname -m
x86_64

I'm running on a Ubuntu 18.04 box. What do I do?

Use the complete path to your downloaded sqlite3 – user535733 Apr 17 '21 at 14:02
Did you download the appropriate package for your computer's architecture? What does file ./sqlite3 say as compared to uname -m? – steeldriver Apr 17 '21 at 14:20

... in fact, it looks like it is a 32-bit binary, so if you are running a 64-bit system (likely) you will need to have the required 32-bit library support. See for example How to run 32-bit app in Ubuntu 64-bit? – steeldriver Apr 17 '21 at 14:26
Ubuntu 18.04 has sqlite3-3.22.0 in the official repositories. Do you really absolutely need the latest version? You could simply install the one that ships with your Ubuntu: sudo apt install sqlite3. – HuHa Apr 17 '21 at 23:48
