You can try typing 'which sfarkxtc' and if it is in one of the directories specified in your PATH variable it will tell you exactly where it is. (You can type 'echo $PATH' to see the directories specified by that variable.)
If 'which' doesn't show it you can run 'dpkg -L sfarkxtc' to see a list of files that were installed by the package. One of those ought to be the sfakrxtc command. (Note - command and package name aren't always the same but appear to be the same in this case based on what you wrote.)
If 'which' finds it you should just be able to run the command without the './' or full path. If not but the dpkg shows it to you, you can either add the directory to your PATH (e.g. PATH=$PATH:/') OR you can just specify the directory on invocation with the same arguments as before (e.g. //sfarkxtc jazz...)
