## Chapter 3. Start the Application
Keywords: Sqliteman, SQL, Sqlite, development, database

The most common way how to start Sqliteman is to run it from your desktop menu. But there are some command line options you can use too.

## Usage in the command line

sqliteman [options] [databasefile]

### databasefile

An optional argument. A Sqlite3 file with absolute or relative path. This file will be loaded into the application directly.

### options

Optional arguments. You can specify some switches to setup the application. Option list:

- --help or -h displays small help and exits

- --version or -v prints version and exits

- --lang or -l sets a GUI language. E.g. : sqliteman --lang cs

  Sqliteman checks your environment and tries to setup itself by your locale settings. It affects the GUI language – it should be in your language if there is a translation available. If you wish to use this application in English use --lang en or use Preferences dialog.

- --langs or -la lists available languages and exits

There are standard Qt4 options available too.
