How To Fix surf-alggeo-nox: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu surf-alggeo-nox is provided by surf-alggeo-nox package.

surf-alggeo-nox is:

Surf is a script driven tool to visualize some real algebraic geometry: plane algebraic curves, algebraic surfaces and hyperplane sections of surfaces.

The algorithms should be stable enough not to be confused by curve/surface singularities in codimension greater than one and the degree of the surface or curve. This has been achieved quite a bit. Curves of degree up to 30 and surfaces of degree up to 20 have been drawn successfully. However, there are examples of curves/surfaces of lower degree where surf fails to produce perfect images. This happens especially if the equation of the curve/surface is not reduced. Best results are achieved using reduced equations. On the other hand, surf displays the Fermat-curves accurately for degree up to 98.

Surf is free software distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

This package provides the script driven tool surf without X support.

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

sudo apt-get -y install surf-alggeo-nox

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

You can also use apt command to install surf-alggeo-nox.

sudo apt -y install surf-alggeo-nox

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

sudo aptitude install surf-alggeo-nox
