How To Fix science-nanoscale-physics: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu science-nanoscale-physics is provided by science-nanoscale-physics package.

science-nanoscale-physics is:

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to Nanoscale Physics, which corresponds to the study of physical systems typically ranging from 1 to 100 nm in size. The properties of such systems usually depend on the number of atoms they are made of, while this number is still relatively large for an accurate description.

The nanoscale is the meeting point of classical and quantum physics. Previous research efforts were considering either smaller systems, for which everybody could develop their own methods and software independently, or much bigger systems, for which it was clearly impossible to provide a fine-grained description. Addressing the issues raised by the nanoscale requires however cooperative and coordinated efforts in a multidisciplinary context. This metapackage is part of such an endeavor.

You might also be interested in the debtag field::physics and, depending on your focus, in the physics and education-physics metapackages.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install science-nanoscale-physics

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install science-nanoscale-physics.

sudo apt -y install science-nanoscale-physics

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.
