Hi !
This error suggests that there were some issues when downloading the database, specifically the file “Host_Genomes.03.nsq” seems to be incomplete/corrupted. It may be because you ran out of space on your disk, or that something went wrong during the download/extraction process. If you want to try to download the database manually, you can use this direct link: https://portal.nersc.gov/cfs/m342/iphop/db/iPHoP_db_Aug23_rw.tar.gz (e.g. with a download manager like aria2c).
Best,

Simon
