In simplest case, you do sudo apt install ... in both cases, connect to database and do your work..

  I have never had a Postgres install go that easily. There’s still initialization and setup of the server and users. And you’ll have to do something about upgrades as well. Postgres isn’t difficult to set up but SQLite is just a file. It’s much simpler. And that’s only the installation. Interaction with SQLite as a database is also simpler. They both have uses but it’s strange to me to assert that they’re equally complex.

      SQLite datatypes are advisory so it pretty much just accepts anything you give it. PostgreSQL definitely says no to schema violations. These are both features.
