The second assignment for Coursera's Introduction to Data Science focuses on databases and relational algebra. The programming assignments are done with sqlite3, so I need to install it on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine.
Following a nice sqlite tutorial at digitalocean I'll install the version in the Ubuntu repository using the typical commands:
$ sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-devAt this point, we're ready to go with the assignment. For those that are interested, the sqlite tutorial at digitalocean goes through simple examples including creating a database and doing simple queries.
