I am trying to install libatlas3gf-base package. But it shows the following error.

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libatlas3gf-base

What should I do now?

This errors is due to your package manager.
Try to install atlas instead of libatlas3gf-base

Note that abinit already provides an internal version of blas/lapack so you can compile the
code without atlas. Having an optimized blas/lapack makes a huge difference in terms of efficiency
if you are running in production on a cluster but if your main goal is to compile the code on your laptop,
the internal fallbacks are fine.
