If the scripts directory isn't in your PATH, and . (the current directory) is not in the PATH either, you can run the script using ./ as shown below

./script_name.sh

Use the script file name to run it either by using it’s relative path or absolute path as shown below:

cd /home/user

./script_name.sh

OR

/home/user/script_name.sh
