## Installation

Getting started with ZeQLplus is straightforward. You have two primary options for installation:

### Pre-built Binaries

Pre-built binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows 10+ are available as zip files on the [releases page](https://github.com/ZetloStudio/ZeQLplus/releases). Simply download the appropriate zip file for your operating system, extract its contents, and run the executable directly. No additional installation steps are required.

### Building from Source

If you prefer to build ZeQLplus from its source code, you will need [Vlang](https://github.com/vlang/v) v0.4.10 or above installed on your system.

1.  First, ensure you have [installed V](https://github.com/vlang/v#installing-v-from-source).
2.  Clone the ZeQLplus repository from GitHub.
3.  Navigate to the cloned directory in your terminal.
4.  Build the executable in production mode using the following command:

    shell
v -prod -skip-unused . -o zeql
    

## Examples

Once installed, using ZeQLplus is simple. From your command line in a Terminal or CMD window, execute the `zeql` command followed by the path to your SQLite database file:

shell
zeql <database_filename>


It is recommended to move the `zeql` executable to a location included in your system's PATH for easier access.

### Sample SQLite Database

To test ZeQLplus's functionality, you can download a sample SQLite database, such as the [Chinook SQLite database](https://github.com/lerocha/chinook-database/blob/master/ChinookDatabase/DataSources/Chinook_Sqlite.sqlite).
