You need to use apt command (on debian based distributions) rather than yum:
sudo apt install wacom
To build the package you should use :
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo reboot
sudo apt install build-essential autoconf linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Building steps (instructions from : Installing input wacom from source):
wget https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/releases/download/input-wacom-0.46.0/input-wacom-0.46.0.tar.bz2
tar xvf input-wacom-0.46.0.tar.bz2
cd input-wacom-0.46.0/
#./autogen.sh
if test -x ./autogen.sh; then ./autogen.sh; else ./configure; fi && make && sudo make install || echo "Build Failed"
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe -v wacom
sudo modprobe -v wacom_w8001

As written on the page, that you've mentioned, if you are using Linux Mint(on page shortened as Mint), you should use:
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Linux Mint is Debian based, which means, that it uses apt package manager instead of yum package manager used by Red-Hat like Linux distributions (such as Fedora, CentOS, ...)
