# Neurosift Python utility
This is a simple command-line utility used to view local NWB files using Neurosift.
## Installation
```bash
pip install neurosift
```
## Usage
```bash
neurosift view-nwb /path/to/file.nwb
```
This will open a web browser window with the Neurosift web app pointing to a symlinked copy of your file. You can then browse the file and visualize its contents.
When finished, you can stop the server by pressing Ctrl-C in the terminal window.
If you're running Neurosift in a local development server, you can point to it instead:
```bash
neurosift view-nwb /path/to/file.nwb --neurosift-url http://localhost:5173
```
