Hello, everyone. Not sure that this is a good place to ask my question, but here it is.  
I am installing for first time tryton on Ubuntu 20.04 with PostgreSql and during DB initialisation I am getting this:  
raise Exception(‘“%s” is not a Tryton database.’ % db\_name)  
Exception: “tryton” is not a Tryton database.  
Same error with SqLIte.  
I can give more details if needed.  
If this is not a place to this question, please indicate where to post it.  
Thank you
