Hello.

When I attempt to browse my notes using nb b or nb b -g I get the following message:

! Install `ncat`, `nc` / `netcat`, or Bash 5.2+ for full browsing and linking:
https://nmap.org/ncat/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netcat

I believe I meet all those requirements:

bash --version
GNU bash, version 5.2.15(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
whereis netcat
netcat: /usr/bin/netcat /usr/share/man/man1/netcat.1.gz

I am running debian 12, everything up to date, and I installed nb through npm. Some relevant information might be that netcat on debian has two versions of netcat: netcat-openbsd and netcat-traditional. I have tried both versions, neither of which worked.
