I think we need more details to understand what is going wrong for you. Exactly what did you download and where from?
This is the main download page for SQLite: https://www.sqlite.org/download.html On that page is a section titled "Precompiled Binaries for Mac OS X (x86)”. Under that is a single link to the current version of the bundle of precompiled Mac tools: https://www.sqlite.org/2016/sqlite-tools-osx-x86-3130000.zip If that isn’t what you are trying to run, you’ll need to explain what you downloaded. Assuming it was that file: After expanding the zip file you should have a folder containing three files: sqldiff, sqlite3, and sqlite3_analyzer. These are command line tools which would normally be run from a shell inside Terminal.app. If you try to run one from Finder (by double clicking the icon) on a recent version of OS X, you should get a warning from Gatekeeper that they can’t be opened because they are from an unidentified developer (not a problem if they are launched from the shell). If you get past the Gatekeeper warning using one of the standard methods, Terminal should be launched, open a new window, and run the program. (That’s what happens for me.) The warning about a damaged file is an odd one to get for command line tools, because it usually appears when an application’s digital signature doesn’t match the application bundle (indicating the application was modified). The SQLite command line tools are not digitally signed, which suggests Gatekeeper is getting confused somehow. I’ve seen mention of cases where this message can appear for documents as well as applications, e.g. the following case where someone was using a third party file system driver via OSX Fuse - all downloaded files (with the com.apple.quarantine extended attribute) produced that message if double-clicked when the file was on the unusual file system, but were OK if subsequently moved to a normal HFS+ volume. http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/129966/files-wrongly-considered-as-damaged-in-encfs-volume > On 9/07/2016, at 1:19 AM, Alex Fender <[email protected]> wrote: > > I tried with Chrome and Firefox.
