test file not found in Maxima

  • 772

I installed Maxima via Terminal (sudo-apt install maxima) also its documentation (sudo apt-install maxima-doc) and when I open Maxima and try to run the test command:

run_testsuite(display_all=true);

it does nothing because an error break : enter image description here

At the end in the error summary shows every tests is failed because an error break and

0 tests failed out of 0 total tests. real time : 0.449 secs

run-gbc time : 0.140 secs

child run time : 0.000 secs

gbc time : 0.000 secs

(%o1) done

how can I fix this? I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

apt
