Solutions to bornagain: command not found

How To Fix bornagain: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu bornagain is provided by bornagain package.

bornagain is:

BornAgain is a software package to simulate and fit small-angle scattering at grazing incidence. It supports analysis of both X-ray (GISAXS) and neutron (GISANS) data. Calculations are carried out in the framework of the distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA). BornAgain provides a graphical user interface for interactive use as well as a generic Python and C++ framework for modeling multilayer samples with smooth or rough interfaces and with various types of embedded nanoparticles.

BornAgain supports:

Layers:

  • Multilayers without any restrictions on the number of layers
  • Interface roughness correlation
  • Magnetic materials

Particles:

  • Choice between different shapes of particles (form factors)
  • Particles with inner structures
  • Assemblies of particles
  • Size distribution of the particles (polydispersity)

Positions of Particles:

  • Decoupled implementations between vertical and planar positions
  • Vertical distributions: particles at specific depth in layers or on top.
  • Planar distributions:
    • fully disordered systems
    • short-range order distribution (paracrystals)
    • two- and one-dimensional lattices

Input Beam:

  • Polarized or unpolarized neutrons
  • X-ray
  • Divergence of the input beam (wavelength, incident angles) following different distributions
  • Possible normalization of the input intensity

Detector:

  • Off specular scattering
  • Two-dimensional intensity matrix, function of the output angles

Use of BornAgain:

  • Simulation of GISAXS and GISANS from the generated sample
  • Fitting to reference data (experimental or numerical)
  • Interactions via Python scripts or Graphical User Interface

If you use BornAgain in your work, please cite C. Durniak, M. Ganeva, G. Pospelov, W. Van Herck, J. Wuttke (2015), BornAgain — Software for simulating and fitting X-ray and neutron small-angle scattering at grazing incidence, version , http://www.bornagainproject.org

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

sudo apt-get -y install bornagain

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

You can also use apt command to install bornagain.

sudo apt -y install bornagain

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

sudo aptitude install bornagain
