command line - Adding executable sss to bin path - Ask Ubuntu

i'm trying follow instruction i'm not sure how. have little knowldge of linux.

add executable "sss" search path. in installations can accomplished linking file "bin" subdirectory @ user home.

could help?

path environment variable list directories search command (script or binary).

running echo $path on terminal output current path variable.

usually, terminal recognizes directories called "bin" in user home , add path (this done automatically when ~/.profile script called terminal on invocation).

so instruction telling do, create symlink program on ~/bin folder, if exists (or creating , including symlink if doesn't).

mkdir ~/bin cd ~/bin ln -s path/to/your/program programname 

then can call program typing name in terminal.
