If so, with sqlite3 or separately? Here's a page that describes how to install the PCRE plug-in on Ubuntu: https://zoomadmin.com/HowToInstall/UbuntuPackage/sqlite3-pcre According to that page, Ubuntu does provide a package for it. > 2.

The code can be easily found by searching the Internet, and our README/INSTALL should include the canonical URL.
