# Rocket Todo Example This example makes use of a SQLite database via `diesel` to store todo tasks. As a result, you'll need to have `sqlite3` and its headers installed: * **OS X:** `brew install sqlite` * **Debian/Ubuntu:** `apt-get install libsqlite3-dev` * **Arch:** `pacman -S sqlite` ## Running **Before running, building, or testing this example, you'll need to ensure the following:** 1. A SQLite database file with the proper schema is present. On a Unix machine or with bash installed, you can simply run the `boostrap.sh` script to create the database. The script installs the `diesel_cli` tools if they're not already installed and runs the migrations. The script will output a `DATABASE_URL` variable. You can also run the migrations manually with the following commands: ``` cargo install diesel_cli # install diesel CLI tools DATABASE_URL=db/db.sql diesel migration run # create db/db.sql ``` 2. A `DATABASE_URL` environment variable is set that points to the SQLite database file. Use the `DATABASE_URL` variable emitted from the `bootstrap.sh` script, or enter it manually, as follows: * `DATABASE_URL=db/db.sql cargo build` * `DATABASE_URL=db/db.sql cargo test` * `DATABASE_URL=db/db.sql cargo run`
