I’m following a tutorial to setup a new elm project and it wants to use the following code:  
elm package install elm-lang/http  
and elm comes back with There is no package command. I assume that something has changed since this tutorial was created. what is the correct syntax to use?

The package name should be `elm/http`, not `elm-lang/http`. Install it by `elm install elm/http`.

Yes, from what I remembered there used to be an `elm-package` binary and `elm package install` would call that binary. Now, the `elm` binary took over the responsibilities and so, the `package` argument is no longer necessary `elm install`, `elm diff`, `elm bump` and `elm publish` accomplish the functionality that used to live in `elm-package`.
