Solution is NOT to install jinja2 prior to j2cli. I did it because of excessive thinking: since j2cli is interface to the language jinja2, the latter should be installed first. It was wrong. I uninstall them both with 'pip3 uninstall' command and then installed just j2cli with 'pip3 install j2cli'. Immediately 'j2' command became available.
