code assumes sqlcipher is already install on Linux platforms?

I'm trying to install this on a Linux based device and keep getting various errors.

First, it was complaining about sqlite3.h not being found, so I found a recent copy I had lying around and copied it to /usr/include. Then it complained about -lsqlcipher being found.

I looked at the postinstall script, and it appears that for darwin it uses brew to install sqlcipher, but for Linux it just blindly assumes it is there.

@michael-ts yeah, to be honest, I didn't even try Linux.

Any pull request is welcome. I'm not sure what should the commands be like:

sudo apt-get install sqlite3
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Maybe I should add a "WIP" or "EXPERIMENTAL" tag to this project.

Thanks everyone who gives it a try ;)

I'm not familiar with C/Linux stuff, but I would try my best to help anyone who is in trouble like I did.

Meh. I just discovered that it isn't properly installing sqlcipher on my Mac either. I hadn't had time to track down some issues I was having, and it turns out installing unix-sqlcipher (via cross-sqlcipher) via npm has no sqlcipher support.

Uninstalled and re-installed, saw this message:

Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/sqlcipher
Warning: You are using OS X 10.12.
We do not provide support for this pre-release version.

@michael-ts see Homebrew/brew#364
It seems you need to upgrade your homebrew to 1.x?

Looks like even if sqlcipher is installed it still may not worked because postinstall.js is assuming stuff is in /usr/local, but under Ubuntu if I apt-get install sqlcipher libsqlcipher-dev it's installing in /usr.
