Hi,

error:  
**djnago Failed to open database ‘/home/wa1eed/dev/storefront/db.sqlite3’: SQLite process failed to start: The argument ‘file’ cannot be empty. Received ''**

solution 😀

Django Course , Setting Up the Database

if you cant open the database with sqlite3 extension on vs code on Linux machine you need to install the sql binary by using the below command on your environment terminal .

```auto
pip install pysqlite3-binary

```

cheers 🙂
