Have you tried downloading the compiled binary found here and checked if it works?

I downloaded it. But it is opening as a binary file with lots of alphabets and other characters. I could not install. Could you please tell how to install it using that compiled binary file?

No installation should be needed and you don't need to "open" a binary file. Simply run the program after adding execute permissions (chmod a+r fastANI).

./fastANI -h
