<SOLVED>Running a script from any directory?

[new_to_linux]

Hello, I'm just starting out with Linux and I'm trying to write a simple script for initializing a program.

So far, this is what I've got and it executes fine:

#!/bin/bash
clear
cd /
cd home/albatros/Programs/pycharm/bin
./pycharm.sh

To execute it, I have to first go to the directory where the script is placed.

However, is there a way to execute it from any directory I'm currently working in?

Cheers and thanks for the help!

These should clear it up for you:

Create in your home the folder bin and move the script into it. After the next log in into your account this folder will be automatically added to the PATH.
