The OpenZim libraries are not meant for end-users but for software
developers which integrate them into reader applications or export tools.
If you just want to read or view files in OpenZim format, then you
should look for a reader software that supports it. [1] [2]
AFAIK there is no application in Debian repos that can read OpenZim
files yet.
