Exec: "adafruit-nrfutil": executable file not found in $PATH

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Linux), Board: “Seeed XIAO nRF52840 Sense, S140 7.3.0, Level 0 (Release)”
Error on compiling and linking all example code with this chip.
on examining the libraries installed for XIAO nRF52840 Sense in the hardware/tools/ folder the executable adafruit-nrfutil is only available for win32 and macOS! I have searched on Github for a src or executable linux package without success.
Since even a simple blink.ino will not compile without this tool I am completely stymied
