Usually you can just type the command and bash (or whatever shell you use) will recommend the package with that command.

Linux is a kernel. This question is about software management tools such as dpkg or flatpak or yum... so the title sucks.

The article goes through most of the widespread package management tools available across Linux Distros, though, so if you're using Linux, chances are, you'll find the answer to that question in the article regardless. It's a helpful generalization, and you're being needlessly pedantic.
