I tried to install the PALP database for four-dimensional reflexive polytopes on the SageMath cloud, following the documentation at
http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/geometry/sage/geometry/polyhedron/palp_database.html , which suggests the shell command sage -i polytopes_db_4d . This didn't work. I'm not sure whether the failure implies a problem with the database, or with the place I'm trying to put it on the cloud (this is a standard Sage installation, not a development version, on a members-only server without extra internet access enabled). Here's the full terminal output: *** make build/make/Makefile make[1]: Entering directory '/projects/sage/sage-7.3' make[1]: 'build/make/Makefile' is up to date. make[1]: Leaving directory '/projects/sage/sage-7.3' build/bin/sage-logger \ "cd build/make && ./install 'all-toolchain'" logs/install.log tee: logs/install.log: Permission denied ./install: line 28: /projects/sage/sage-7.3/.BUILDSTART: Permission denied Nothing to (re)build / all up-to-date.
