Hi,

I’m trying to install an python3 API for sqlcipher on linux. Does anyone know a script or an updated procedure.

I followed the procedure for python2 from this link: [https://charlesleifer.com/blog/encrypted-sqlite-databases-with-python-and-sqlcipher/but](https://charlesleifer.com/blog/encrypted-sqlite-databases-with-python-and-sqlcipher/but) using python3 instead but i got an error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlcipher when i “python3 setup.py build”

Thanks
