How To Install python3-periodictable on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-periodictable on Debian 12.
What is python3-periodictable
python3-periodictable is:
This package provides a periodic table of the elements with support for mass, density and xray/neutron scattering information.
Masses, densities and natural abundances come from the NIST Physics Laboratory, but do not represent a critical evaluation by NIST scientists.
Neutron scattering calculations use values collected by the Atomic Institute of the Austrian Universities. These values do corresponding to those from other packages, though there are some differences depending to the tables used. Bound coherent neutron scattering for gold in particular is significantly different from older value: 7.63(6) as measured in 1974 compared to 7.90(7) as measured in 1990.
X-ray scattering calculations use a combination of empirical and theoretical values from the LBL Center for X-ray Optics. These values differ from those given in other sources such as the International Tables for Crystallography, Volume C, and so may give different results from other packages.
This package installs the library for Python 3.
There are three methods to install python3-periodictable on Debian 12. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install python3-periodictable Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt update
After updating apt database, We can install python3-periodictable using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install python3-periodictable
Install python3-periodictable Using aptitude
If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Debian. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.
sudo aptitude update
After updating apt database, We can install python3-periodictable using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install python3-periodictable
