How do I set up SQLite with nodejs

Morning good folks
I have a slight newbie hickup
I am trying to set up a new project with nodejs and SQLite on my local machine but am guessing I am getting the steps in the wrong order. Everything is fine, the nodejs server is running until I add SQLite. First I get an error message saying SQLite is not installed and then a spinner with a box pops up telling me:
Query database schedule. I have waited for a while but nothing other than this box is on my dashboard and otherwise the wappler dashboard is inactive
Might someone know how to set this bad boy up?

thanks in advance
Linda
