How do I run this thing?

[damms005]

I am new to Python and I saw this tool. As I have python already installed on my linux box, I thought it will be straight-forward for newbies like me, but oops, here I am!

After installing the package following the instruction using pip, no command named mysql2sqlite is available on the command line. I have not personally directly used anything installed with pip, so that may explain a lot about my issue.

I have tried creating a python script and importing the package mysql2sqlite. I have also tried using pip show mysql-to-sqlite3 to get the location of the package and added same to my PATH but still no luck.

How do I use this package?

Hey!

So if you installed everything correctly it should expose the console command mysql2sqlite as it's defined in the setup.py file.

I'm not entirely sure how you installed it though.

Try and follow these steps:

• on Linux / macOS

  python3 -m venv env
  source env/bin/activate
  pip install mysql-to-sqlite3
  mysql2sqlite --help

• on MS Windows using CMD

  python -m venv env
  env\Scripts\activate.bat
  pip install mysql-to-sqlite3
  mysql2sqlite --help

• on MS Windows using PowerShell

  python -m venv env
  env\Scripts\Activate.ps1
  pip install mysql-to-sqlite3
  mysql2sqlite --help
