`Homebrew`_ handles all the SpatiaLite related packages on your behalf,
including SQLite3, SpatiaLite, PROJ, and GEOS. Install them like this::
$ brew update
$ brew install spatialite-tools
$ brew install gdal

.. note::
When running ``manage.py migrate`` with a SQLite (or SpatiaLite) database,
the database file will be automatically created if it doesn't exist. In
this case, if your models contain any geometry columns, you'll see this
error::
CreateSpatialIndex() error: "no such table: geometry_columns"
It's because the table creation queries are executed without spatial
metadata tables. To avoid this, make the database file before executing
``manage.py migrate`` as described above.
