Re: how do i run the shell script?

Hey there,

You can also place it in a directory in your PATH, after you make it executable, so you can run it from anywhere.

I dont' recommend adding a dot to your PATH, but just do

echo $PATH

and copy your script into one of those directories and you can just run it by calling its name wherever you are on the filesystem
