+:ref:`analysistools-nwbview` is a cross-platform software with a graphical user interface to display the contents of the binary NWB file format. It is written in Rust for high-performance, memory safety and ease of deployment.
+Its features include the ability to display the contents of the NWB file in a tree structure. It displays voltage and current recordings data in interactive plots. The tabular data or the text data present in the NWB can be displayed in a scalable window.

+`nwbview` uses the `egui `_ Rust GUI library for rendering.
+
+
+To install and run using cargo
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Cargo is the package manager for Rust, and `nwbview` is listed as a package there. You can find it on `crates.io `_.
+
+
+**Note:** HDF5 needs to be installed in your system as cargo will try to locate the HDF5 root directory and/or headers.
+
+First install the `cargo` package manager and then run the following command to install `nwbview`.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ cargo install nwbview
+
+Once you completed the installation, simply type `nwbview` on the console to run it.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ nwbview
+
+
+To build and run from the source code
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Rust library dependencies are provided in the `cargo.toml` file.
+
+Note that the Rust libraries depend on the following system packages that need to be provided.
+
+* `libgtk-3-dev`
+* `librust-atk-dev`
+* `libhdf5-serial-dev`
+
+The exact names of the packages may differ between systems.
+
+Once all the dependencies are satisfied, go to the directory containing `cargo.toml` and run the following command.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ cargo run --release
+
+The release flag builds the artifacts with optimizations. Do not specify it when you need to debug.
