Getting Started

Install dependencies and launch SQLite Browser for the first time.

Prerequisites

Python 3.13 or higher
uv — a fast, Rust-based Python package manager

Install uv

If you do not already have uv, follow the uv installation guide for your platform.

Install dependencies

From the root of the repository, run:

uv sync

This reads pyproject.toml and installs all required packages into an isolated virtual environment.

Windows + OneDrive: If the repository is inside a OneDrive-synced folder you may see a hardlink error (os error 396). The project is pre-configured with link-mode = "copy" in pyproject.toml to prevent this — uv sync should succeed without any extra steps.

Start the app

uv run python dash_app.py

Open your browser and navigate to:

http://127.0.0.1:8050

The app is only accessible on your own machine (it does not listen on the network).

Next step

Once the app is running, see Usage to load a database and start exploring.
