@fmotta can you try this?

python
# then
import sqlite3
sqlite3.sqlite_version_info

I suspect your system version vs python version are not the same.

For reference, here is where that gets thrown: https://github.com/chroma-core/chroma/blob/ce5c6b35e7ee7b2786eec6e3f5e7c821fb30d844/chromadb/init.py#L65

i wrote the following script to fix the issue, it will override the version that is giving you the error with the correct versión. Note: you will need to update the script slightly. script
