Slimor,

The ncdump utility is part of the standard netCDF distribution.  No matter what 
kind of computing platform you have, you can get the source and build it 
according to the installation instructions, and the ncdump program gets built 
and installed on your local system.  If instead you get an appropriate binary 
distribution for the particular kind of computing platform you have, then the 
ncdump utility is already built and ready for installation on your local system.

The source distribution is available here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/release-notes-3.6.2.html

and various binary releases are available here:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/binary/

It's also possible to get binary releases from third-party packaging systems, 
such as fink for Mac OS X, rpm archives for RedHat Linus, the dpkg system for 
Debian Linux, etc.  But in those cases, it may be simpler to just build from 
source, if you have a C compiler and supporting run-time library, which are all 
that are required for ncdump.
