Attempting to write on read only database sqlite

[eamigo86]

Hello, first of all congratulations on this great contribution to the community, it was really needed.

I am trying to set up the example Formula project on my Mac and I have followed the Installation section steps to the letter, in addition the suggestion from another ticket to run this command at the project root did not help:
shell chmod 666 ./

NOTE: When trying the same commands in a connection to PostgreSQL, the instructions work fine.
