The package that contains that command is in the Debian repos, just not installed by default. But PPAs are a no-no unless you really understand what they doing...and by then, you can probably just rebuild the package on Debian, anyway.
To help find a Linux alternative to a Windows program you could use these sites to give you some options, they simply list some software equivalents for Linux but it is not an exhaustive list and further research would yield more results. linuxquestions wiki linux.co.uk page
Installing it would never have worked from the PPA, as it requires geoclue-ubuntu-geoip, which is only in the Ubuntu repos.
I did manage to port what it needs over and get it running on my xfce desktop--it looks really nice. I couldn't get the automatic location to work--it may be blocked by the library wifi I'm using right now. Manual location setting worked. And the map overlays also don't seem to work, but all the other features seem OK.
I can set up the program in a Jessie openSUSE Build Service repo, which is as close to a PPA as we currently have on the Debian side, if anyone wants it.
I don't think you need to run the command to download the key as sysadmin, but the other two commands in that section of the instructions have to have those permissions.
