If you intent to use this with TeXLive, it's included there already.

#5602 possibly relevant?

I tried it. It doesn't work. It seems that the asymptote.sty just translate the latex code to asy code, but the bin compiler "asy" is not included in.

# xbps-install texlive-bin libfreeglut
# tlmgr install asymptote
% asy --version
Asymptote version 3.04 [(C) 2004 Andy Hammerlindl, John C. Bowman, Tom Prince]

# xbps-install texlive-bin libfreeglut
# tlmgr install asymptote
% asy --version

I got it. Thank you. So should this issue be closed?

However, by this way, If I want to add a new soft to void depending on this "asymptote", how should i set the dependence of the template file?

To clarify, asymptote is included in texlive-bin, but not texlive by default (upstream also recommends against building it in texlive), so if you want to build against it, it would be better to have a separate package, just like e.g. biber (perhaps some small adjustments for depends and to avoid conflicts with texlive may be required).
