So I'm completely new to rails and ruby in general.
I'm on a windows machine and going through the setup process on [rubyonrails](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#installing-rails).
Instead of using the rails installer I opted to install rails via gem.
When I check for SQLite3 --version I get nothing so I got to [sqlite](sqlite.org) and download 64bit dll zip file and the tools zip file.
There are no instructions with what to do with these files after I extract them.
When I run SQLite3 --version nothing happens.
Some googling told me to put the SQLite3.exe and the dll into the system32 folder. I do this and run the version command. Nothing happens.
I then try gem install SQLite3 and it works. Now when I do the version command it is recognised.
But I am wondering what about the other files that were zipped up with the SQLite3 dll and exe. Where do I put them? Is my installation complete?
There is no info on this on the rails site or SQLite site I linked.
Yeah, so installing SQLite and installing the gem SQLite are two different things. One is the actual database, the other is a Ruby gem for talking to the database.
At this point, you should be able to double click on SQLite.exe – that should start the database or being up installation instructions.
