How To Fix dexqv: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu dexqv is provided by dextractor package.

dextractor is:

Dextractor commands allow one to pull exactly and only the information needed for assembly and reconstruction from the source HDF5 files produced by the PacBio RS II sequencer, or from the source BAM files produced by the PacBio Sequel sequencer.

For each of the three extracted file types – fasta, quiva, and arrow – the library contains commands to compress the given file type, and to decompress it, which is a reversible process delivering the original uncompressed file. The compressed .fasta files, with the extension .dexta, consume 1/4 byte per base. The compressed .quiva files, with the extension .dexqv, consume 1.5 bytes per base on average, and the compressed .arrow files, with the extension .dexar, consume 1/4 byte per base
