periodic-table-cli on Ubuntu Server

[rsauve]

I usually find some interesting stuff for the linux terminal reading the Linux Format magazine. FXF316 July 2024 edition article "Learn the periodic table" is all about periodic-table-cli.

I installed periodic-table-cli on my Mint Linux VM using: pip install periodic-table-cli
It works great!

However, when I tried to install periodic-table-cli (same procedure as above) on my Ubuntu server via ssh and run periodic-table-cli I get:
:~$ periodic-table-cli
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/robert/.local/bin/periodic-table-cli", line 8, in
sys.exit(main())

Is it possible to get periodic-table-cli to run under Ubuntu Server via ssh?
