This is the answer, assuming you have the shebang line and executable
flags mentioned above.

Method (assuming you are using bash):

Add this to your .bashrc file in your home directory:

export PATH=$PATH:${HOME}/bin

I used ${HOME} instead of ~ to make this more portable. However, if
your system doesn't work that way, use the ~ or the full path.
