How to install NTFS-3G Advanced through command line?

Question

I would like to install NTFS-3G Advanced since I need my Ubuntu installation to recognizing symbolic links created in Windows. Their website indicates it can be installed by compiling the source code. However, I would prefer to install the software using sudo apt-get install. This thread:

How do I install ntfs-3g (ntfsprogs) manually on Ubuntu?

shows how it can be done for standard NTFS-3G by running sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g. Can this be done for the advanced version?

Edit 1

Output of apt search nfts-3g:

ntfs-3g/trusty,now 1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  read/write NTFS driver for FUSE

ntfs-3g-dbg/trusty 1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2 amd64
  read/write NTFS driver for FUSE (debug)

ntfs-3g-dev/trusty 1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2 amd64
  read/write NTFS driver for FUSE (development)

ntfs-config/trusty 1.0.1-10 amd64
  Enable/disable write support for any NTFS devices

@George Yeah, I figured there's an obvious solution, but I'm quite new to Ubuntu and have broken my installation (more than once) by having tried to do too much on my own. I did search for NTFS-3G Advanced in Ubuntu Software center and couldn't find anything. I don't actually know how, in general, people find the package names to install with sudo apt-get install. Could you explain more, please? — Blackmill, Aug 01 '17 at 00:53
@George Just ran your suggestion and provided the output below the first edit. — Blackmill, Aug 01 '17 at 01:00
Why not download the RPM, and then use https://askubuntu.com/q/2988/158442 — muru, Aug 01 '17 at 01:02
You have the normal version installed let me search for a repo for the advanced version — George Udosen, Aug 01 '17 at 01:03
@muru I thought the RPM files were for Fedora specifically given the label. I also didn't know they could be made into DEB files. Appreciate the alternate solution, though. — Blackmill, Aug 01 '17 at 01:10
