For Ubuntu 21.04 and newer you can use audacious-plugins package from universe pocket. Install it with

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install audacious-plugins

For Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and older you have to add special PPA first, so install using commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install audacious-plugins

After installation you should launch Audacious and visit Services → Plugins menu to enable needed plugins in Visualization section, drag them to needed locations to get something like shown below:

Technical details (if needed): the link in your question contains a link to rpm-package.
When downloaded and extracted, one can see its contents as follows:

usr/
└── lib64 └── audacious └── Visualization ├── blur_scope-qt.so ├── blur_scope.so ├── cairo-spectrum.so ├── gl-spectrum-qt.so ├── qt-spectrum.so └── vumeter-qt.so

so the next step is to use package contents search on for example for vumeter-qt.so library. This clearly says that one needs to install audacious-plugins package.
