How should we address readlines not working in older macs in sqlite3?

[chendaniely]

some of the macs do not have the up arrow to recall history. How should we address that? Many instructors have a newer version of sqlite3 and use readline during the lessons and students who do not have it will fall behind

Also an issue for macs today in a session on sqlite3 by @timtomch. Temporary workaround for those mac users was to use it sqlite as a firefox extension.

Update: problem seems to be with version of sqlite3 installed by Anaconda does not have the readline. So mac users were able to run sqlite3 from the command line by running it from /usr/bin/sqlite3

Ok and then we finally saw that we this was already referenced in carpentries/workshop-template#230 and thus on the workshop installation directions. 😳

@embray any general solution?

Closing due to new Sqlite platform used and carpentries/workshop-template#230
