Handwired Keyboard

Installing teensy_loader_cli (on Mach B. It's already installed and working on Mach A) so I can flash a handwired keyboard with QMK.

EDIT: Solved (see below)

MACHINE A:

$ which teensy_loader_cli
returns:
/usr/bin/teensy_loader_cli

$ which teensy
returns:
/home/brett/bin/teensy

MACHINE B:
$ which teensy_loader_cli
returns:
no output

$ which teensy
returns:
no output

When I run 'qmk setup' I get udev errors. Udev rules are in position on the machine.
/etc/udev/rules.d/49-teensy.rules

The default keymap is in place on Mach. B (duplicate of keymap used on Mach. A).
The command used successfully on Mach A is from dir ~/qmk_firmware/:
make handwired/brett/split:default:teensy

This command results in error with the following (excerpt):
sh: 1: teensy_loader_cli: not found

Downloaded teensy_loader_cli-master.zip and unzipped it but don't know what to do next.
And frankly not sure which of these sources I got it from:
StefanHamminga / teensy_loader_cli
PaulStoffregen / teensy_loader_cli

I even installed the Teensy GUI app to see if that would help. Didn't.

Can someone please help the clueless HOW TO INSTALL teensy_loader_cli onto a Linux machine?

I've been to this url 10 times:
https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader_cli.html

There's all kinds of information but I just don't see directions on HOW TO INSTALL teensy_loader_cli.

Thanks.

Solution:
I'm on a Debian based Linux system (Mint). If your Linux is not Debian based, your command would be different.
$sudo apt install teensy-loader-cli -y
The -y in the command says auto select yes for prompts when installing
Note the command uses hyphens, not underscores which is what you'll see more often than not when reading about teensy_loader_cli
