I'm not Sybren, but I think I'm able to respond.
nmap is only available if it is installed on the system, on Debian you
would need to install the package nmap first. It is not really a good idea
hoping nmap to be installed.

You can use nmap as a normal user, but some advanced scanning options are
reserved for superuser.
