SQLite requires very little set-up. By default the database will be created at one of the following locations depending on installation method:

| Installation method | Default database path                                |
|---------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
| Arch Linux package  | `/var/lib/arsse/arsse.db`                            |
| Debian package      | `/var/lib/dbconfig-common/sqlite3/arsse/arsse`       |
| Manual installation | `arsse.db` in the The Arsse's installation directory |

This path can be changed with the [`dbSQLite3File` setting](/en/Getting_Started/Configuration#page_dbSQLite3File). 

Regardless of the location used, The Arsse **must** be able to both read from and write to the database file, as well as create files in its directory. This is because SQLite also creates a write-ahead log file and a shared-memory file during operation.
