<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">In my quest for
finding a simple tool for browsing NeXus / hdf5 files via the
command line, I found references to nxbrowse on this page:</font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">However the page
doesn't give much information on how to install it. I understood
elsewhere that the nexus-tools package should be installed but I
don't see anything for Debian/Ubuntu in the corresponding page
(and sudo apt install nexus-tools doesn't work).<br>

provide me with some guidance on this?</font></p>
