I am interested in using jsonlint on commandline in my Ubuntu 16.04 OS. So I executed
sudo apt-get install jsonlint
and I got
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
jsonlint is already the newest version (1.4.0-1build1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 20 not upgraded.
But then when I tried to execute
jsonlint -v packets.json
I got
jsonlint: command not found
Why? How do I fix this?

The command is called jsonlint-php
You could also try a different way to use jsonlint.
$ sudo apt-get install python-demjson
$ jsonlint-py -f packets.json
On Ubuntu 20.04.4 (focal) LTS (on WSL) the package name has changed for python3 and it maps to the normal jsonlint name:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-demjson
$ jsonlint -f packets.json
