All other docs simply use "meshtastic" as the command to execute when we give example commands. I've added commands to these instructions (for windows, mac & linux) which will rename the meshtastic_ubuntu, meshtastic_mac or meshtastic_windows to simply 'meshtastic' so that user attempts to follow other documentation provided have a better chance at success.
