To install Sage Math, enter the command sudo apt install sagemath.

sagemath-common (which you installed) is one of the many dependencies of the whole package. When you install sagemath, it would automatically install all the required dependencies.

See this question for how to install sagemath in 24.04.

It is now recommended to use 9.7 or higher version (https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/linux.html)

so i found this guide which helped me install and run SageMath in Jupyter
