 ### SQLite3 Install Instructions
 
 *Only needed if you experienced errors in Step 5 above - Skip this otherwise*
 
-Ghost depends upon SQLite3, which has to be built for each OS. NPM is as smart as it can be about this, and as long as your machine has all the pre-requisites for compiling/building a C++ program, the npm install still works.
-
-**For Mac users:** The easiest way to do this is to download/install xCode from the App Store (free). This will automatically install all the tools you need - you don't need to open the app.
-
-**For Everyone else:** if you don't have the required pre-requisites, you will need to either get them, or as a shortcut, obtain a precompiled SQLite3 package for your OS. We have created some of these [here](https://github.com/developmentseed/node-sqlite3/issues/106).
-
-The pre-compiled package should be downloaded, extracted and placed in the node\_modules folder, such that it lives in node\_modules/sqlite3, if you have a partial install of the SQLite3 package, replace it with the files you downloaded from Github. Be sure that all the SQLite3 files and folders live directly in node\_modules/sqlite3 - there should note be a node\_modules/sqlite3/sqlite3 folder.
+Ghost depends upon SQLite3, which requires a native binary. These are provided for most major platforms, but if you are using a more obscure *nix flavor you may need to follow the [node-sqlite3 binary instructions](https://github.com/developmentseed/node-sqlite3/wiki/Binaries).
