Can the place where sage -i installs databases to be changed?

[Forrest Burt]

I am attempting to install the Kohel Classical Modular Polynomial Database into sage with "sage -i database_kohel". It's important in the environment I'm in that the databases be contained within a specific file. It's not immediately obvious where these databases will actually be installed to, so is there a way to change/specify where this database will be installed to?

Sorry, this is on CentOS 7.5 with Intel Xeon CPUs, running SageMath version 8.2, Release Date: 2018-05-05.

They are installed in SAGE_ROOT/local/share/kohel/
(also known as SAGE_SHARE/kohel/)
And this value is hardcoded at least at one place, namely in the line
dblocation = os.path.join(SAGE_SHARE, 'kohel') in the file
src/sage/databases/db_modular_polynomials.py

So it is possible to change it to something, but they you'll need to
change the source code too (at that place I indicated, but possibly
somewhere else as well)

Wonderful, thanks for the info. My concern is that it'll get placed into some kind of /usr/local or similar directory. Near as I can tell from that code you posted, it should just go into the same directory as Sage itself, correct?

Yes, right. SAGE_ROOT is where this particular instance of Sage is installed.
