Problem installing package

I am trying to download the database of reflexive 4d lattice polytopes using the command !sage -i polytopes_db_4d, but I get the error: make: * No rule to make target 'all-toolchain'. Stop.

Not sure what this means or how to get around it, so any help or explanation would be welcome. I am relatively new to SAGE so sorry if it is something obvious!

What is your operating system? How did you install Sage?

Is this Sage for Windows? If so, it doesn't support installing optional packages yet.

This package is an "old-style spkg" package.

This means it cannot be installed using sage -i like "new-style spkg" packages.

The workaround is to install it with sage -p.

Quit Sage and in a terminal, run

$ sage -p polytopes_db_4d

This involves downloading the package which contains a huge (~8 GB) database, so it might take a while.

Once this is done, restart Sage and you can follow the SageMath documentation on using the palp_database of reflexive Hodge 4-polytopes:

sage: version()
'SageMath version 8.4, Release Date: 2018-10-17'

sage: from sage.geometry.polyhedron.palp_database import Reflexive4dHodge
sage: ref = Reflexive4dHodge(1, 101)
sage: next(iter(ref)).Vrepresentation()
(A vertex at (-1, -1, -1, -1),
 A vertex at (0, 0, 0, 1),
 A vertex at (0, 0, 1, 0),
 A vertex at (0, 1, 0, 0),
 A vertex at (1, 0, 0, 0))
