Courses Plus Student 10,096 PointsTo clarify the above answer (because I had trouble with it to). You have to type this in from the original console prior to opening sqlite3. Which will look something like this:
treehouse:~/workspace$ sqlite3 database.db
This will open sqlite3 in your console as well as add database.db to your databases.

Courses Plus Student 10,096 PointsYou don't need to. If you type .databases you should see it listed.
