Run a script from every directory on ubuntu linux
I am new to Linux. On my Desktop, I have created the following script called trimmomatic
#!/bin/bash
java -jar /home/aishah/software_library/Trimmomatic-0.36/trimmomatic-0.36.jar
When I open a terminal and do
$ cd Desktop
followed by
$ bash trimmomatic
the script works.
However, the script does not work if I run it starting from directories other than Desktop. For example, when I open a terminal and directly do
$ bash trimmomatic
it says
bash: trimmomatic: No such file or directory
What can I do to be able to run the script from any directory?
Please give me detailed instructions of all commands to type and where to type.
