[Tutor] Making a script part of the terminal

[michael scott]

Thank you for the reply, but thats not exactly what I mean. Perhaps I should 
say, how do I install a program to my computer, so that I can use it by its self 
without running it with python. No matter what directory I'm in I can type 
mozilla in and it runs, no matter what directory I'm in if I type sudo natutilus 
it will run, no matter what directory I'm in if I type gedit it will run. 


So I'm trying to achieve this with the script I wrote. I don't know the 
terminology to ask the question correctly, so forgive me.

What is it about you... that intrigues me so?

We just had a similar question yesterday.

Just make sure Python is on your PATH. CD to the directory where your file is 
located and then you can just type "python myfile.py" where myfile is the name 
of your file.

Okay, my title might be undescriptive, let me try to explain it better. I want 
to take a script I've written and make it usable by typing its name in the 
terminal. Perfect example is the python interpreter. You just type in the word 
python to the terminal and then the interpreter runs. I know other programs can 
do this as well (like mozilla or nautilus or rhythmbox).  So how do I make my 
scripts executable from the terminal?
