Sqlite dependency with etherpad-lite

I'm trying to get etherpad-lite to work with sqlite. When I run it with that setting I get this handy error message

[2015-12-10 15:52:53.162] [ERROR] console - FATAL: The sqlite dependency could not be loaded. We removed it from the dependencies since it caused problems on several Platforms to compile it. If you still want to use sqlite, do a 'npm install sqlite3' in your etherpad-lite root folder

However after following the instructions, and seeing the sqlite3 files get installed in the node_modules directory, I still get the same error message.

I'm at a loss at what to troubleshoot next. Any suggestions?

Found out that the sqlite3 module was not working. I needed to install an alternative arch

Installing an alternative arch

To request an (additional) arch be installed that is different from the value of process.arch for your running node version you can pass --target_arch. For example, to install a 32bit binary on the 64 bit system do:

npm install sqlite3 --target_arch=ia32
