How to install a database for SageMath on the Ubuntu command line?

I am trying to install a database package for SageMath using Ubuntu (command line), and at the same time trying to get the minimal necessary knowledge of Linux to get started.

The actual package is for knots, and is located https: SLASH SLASH github DOT com/soehms/database_knotinfo#readme (not enough karma to to publish links).

The instructions for installation on SageMath seem clear on that site:

sage -i database_knotinfo

However, this spits out an error message:

make: *** No rule to make target 'all-toolchain'.  Stop.

I don't know what this means or how to solve it. I did look up what make means in this context, but it doesn't help.
