How to use btgatt-client Command Line Tool

How do I use btgatt-client command line tool? Am I missing something very simple here?

As of Bluez 5.50, it is under in the tools folder (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/tools/btgatt-client.c)

But when I try inputting the command, nothing seems to work. 

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ btgatt-client
-bash: btgatt-client: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo btgatt-client
sudo: btgatt-client: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ btgatt
-bash: btgatt: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo btgatt
sudo: btgatt: command not found

Bluez sources needs to be compiled with tools support (by default it is enabled), but may be disabled in your raspberry PI build.

You can configure the source using

./configure --enable-tools

If want to cross compile, you may also need to use, "--host"

Or you can directly install the package "bluz-utils" from the package manager repository. For debian,

sudo apt-get install bluez-utils
