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

In Ubuntu xzgv is provided by xzgv package.

xzgv is:

xzgv is a picture viewer for X, with a thumbnail-based file selector. Most file formats are supported, and the thumbnails used are compatible with xv, zgv, and the Gimp. It can also be used with `xzgv file(s)’, to effectively bypass the file selector.

xzgv differs from other picture viewers for X in that it uses one window for both the file selector and viewer, it (unlike xv) allows both scrolling and fit-to-window methods of viewing large pictures, and it (unlike xv and some others) doesn’t ever mangle the picture’s aspect ratio.

It also provides extensive keyboard support; if you prefer using the keyboard, this is almost certainly the best viewer for you. But it doesn’t skimp on the mousey stuff, either.

Note that this program is written by the author of the svgalib-based “zgv”, and has similar features.
