I installed the package but can't figure out how to use/start it. What I'm am looking for is a interactive help/docs for sqlite3 I assumed that what this package does but I don't know how to start it.

Thanks in addvance.

You can just point your web browser at the index page

xdg-open /usr/share/doc/sqlite3-doc/index.html

and navigate the documentation from there.

According to the description shown in apt-cache show sqlite3-doc:

This package contains the documentation that is also available on the SQLite homepage.

And appropriately enough, apt-file show sqlite3-doc will tell you that the package contains whole lot of .html pages stored in /usr/share/doc/sqlite3-doc directory. Now, you can either read those via the browser, or alternatively, as explained in a related answer, you can install dwww package, open the browser and point to http://localhost/dwww. This requires enabling cgi via sudo a2enmod cgi and restarting apache service sudo systemctl restart apache2 (source).

  • Thanks this is what I was looking for since I wanted to know how to invoke it when I'm offline. – Sruly Feb 11 '19 at 17:07
  • @Sruly Glad I could help. Since all `.html` files are located on your hard drive, they are in fact available off-line, either if you use `dwww` or `xdg-open` method, although `dwww` is a bit nicer for navigation – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Feb 11 '19 at 20:00
