You have to add the folder in which the script is contained in, to your PATH. To do so open up ~/.bach_profile in any text editor and add the line:

export PATH="$PATH:/PATH/TO/Folder/"

so since my script is in a folder called "Scripts" in my home directory my bash_profile has"

export PATH="$PATH:~/Scripts/"
