To try to do this I have followed the hints at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKX6R0-EPC4
and therefore
1. installed sqlite and libsqlite-dev
2. Downloaded dump-contacts2db.sh from https://github.com/stachre/dump-contacts2db/
3. FAILED to turn this script into an executable using chmod +x
and therefore
4. failed to achieve the one-line command
$ dump-contacts2db.sh contacts2.db > contacts.vcf
Can anybody help with item 3 or offer an entirely different / better / easier method to achieve the conversion?
Thank you!

Which Android version or how old is the video?

Download Raw rendering and move from Downloads or wherever to your local
personal bin directory then "chmod -v a+rx dump-contacts2db.sh".

Learn enough sqlite to list tables, and columns in tables, to check if
that matches with the script columns and assumptions, and perform the
query yourself in the utility, to check or customize the script for your
own needs.
BTDT: wasn't too hard, interesting, or useful; promptly forgot all about
everything!

If that's a usual SQLite3 database file, get any given SQLite3 database
browser (SQLiteMan f.e.) and play with it as much as you'd need.
