Asymptote is a powerful script-based vector graphics language for technical drawings, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.

In the event that adjustments to the final figure are required, the preliminary Graphical User Interface (GUI) xasy included with Asymptote allows you to move graphical objects and draw new ones. The modified figure can then be saved as a normal Asymptote file.

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

sudo apt-get -y install asymptote-x11
