The reason why you cannot execute the program is because it's not in the $PATH of the shell you are using. First find where it is located and then add the directory to that binary directory to your $PATH environment variable. Then you'll be able to execute it in your terminal.

For instance, if you are using ZSH and your program resides in "/opt/local/bin" then execute the following to make it available through $PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin

After this point you would be able to run the program. And you should add this to your shell RC file.
