It's probably just faster if you install all of Gromacs with the instructions 
above.  If you want an individual tool, you'd have to create a Makefile for it, 
which may require dependencies of other Gromacs library functions. Thus without 
an in-depth knowledge of how Gromacs works and is compiled and linked, you'd 
probably end up wasting 10 times the effort trying to install one tool rather 
than following the step-by-step instructions provided online.
