Hi All,

When I try to install SQLite3 gem on SketchUp, It’s showing

Gem::install "sqlite3"
Error: #<Gem::InstallError: The 'sqlite3' native gem requires installed build tools.

Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit
from 'http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads' and follow the instructions
at 'http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit'

I don’t know if you’re familiar with building extension gems with Ruby. If not, I happen to have built a pre-compiled SQlite3 gem recently.

Download the file ‘sqlite3-1.4.0.20190219-x64-mingw32.gem’ from the page here:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/MSP-Greg/sqlite3-ruby/build/job/9tfvju3tbxvdm0y4/artifacts

then from the SU console, type:

Gem.install '<path to gem>/sqlite3-1.4.0.20190219-x64-mingw32.gem'

The gem should work with Ruby 2.0 thru 2.6 x64 bit only.
