Hi David,
I have no idea how to compile something.
It only unzips to a file called
nanovna-saver
Maybe I can run py and nanovna-saver?

I looked at GIT HUB https://github.com/NanoVNA-Saver/nanovna-saver and
I don't find a binary file for Debian, you will have to compile it
yourself.

Also it looks like it's a python program. There are ways of installing
python programs that others might be able to tell you about, I don't
remember how it's done but I've done it in the past.
