Oh, just figured it out. The installation suggested to rename the binary to

amfora, but I just had amphorae on my head and renamed it to amphora, also
updating the database to that name :)

You could for that matter rename it to ἀμφορεύς, assuming you have aClassical Greek keyboard. (If you have a modern one, which is somewhatmore likely, just leave out the rough breathing and call it αμφορεύς,though that is not an actual Modern Greek word.)

For anyone who is wondering, nobody knows why the word changed gender frommasculine in Greek to feminine in Latin.
