Setting up Sqlite3 Python embedded database and Sqlitebrowser on Virtual Box CentOS 8.2 VM

 Proceed with normal VM's install via CentOS-8.2.2004-x86_64-minimal.iso in Virtual Box 6.1.X. Notice that same straight forward install from scratch of Sqlite3 database would work on bare metal as well . Just no VBoxLinuxAdditions.run related commands.

 When done :-

   $ uname -a

  $ sudo dnf update -y

   $ sudo reboot

   $ sudo dnf install sqlite-devel qt5-* -y

   $ rpm -q sqlite-devel

   $ sudo dnf install wget

   $ wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.5/Python-3.8.5.tgz

   $ sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" -y

   $ tar xvf Python-3.8.5.tgz

   $  cd *.5

   $ ./configure --enable-optimizations

   $  sudo make altinstall

   $ python3.8
