You also need to tell the terminal that "play" is a bash script. You will need to either rename play to play.sh, or run it with "bash play." Additionally the script needs to have executable permissions.

I set it up with the following steps:

• extract to ~/opt/play-2.1-RC1
• mv ~/opt/play-2.1-RC1/play ~/opt/play-2.1-RC1/play.sh
• chmod +x ~/opt/play-2.1-RC1/play.sh
• alias play="/home/rob/opt/play-2.1-RC1/play.sh"

Note that the alias can be run in a terminal, but to persist you will need to copy it to ~/.bashrc

With this setup, local user can type play from any location.
