Getting sqlite3 on clients computer without needing them to compile and install libraries

Question

I need to build a self contained appjs application with sqlite3, for win xp 32bit. I myself am running windows 7 32bit and have not been possible to install sqlit3 via npm. I've tried installing all the gyp and correct python code, the errors are numerous and never ending.

Is there a way I can get a zipped version of the sqlite3 node modules for win32 that is precompiled/built so I can A) use it on my system for development and B) give the client without them needing to run any setups?

EDIT I've been googling around reading stuff like building sqlite3 for windows is a nightmare & this https://github.com/developmentseed/node-sqlite3/issues/55 has been linked a few times. Will my client be able to run the app without having to install visual studio or python or is that just the requirement? If so is there any other database that can be self contained without running a database server?

Answer 1

Just use a pure Javascript implementation of SQLite like SQL.js
