Lets say the command you have to run to execute the program is ./path/to/file and programs name is xyz

So create a .bash_aliases file in your home directory.
Add the line to the file create a alias for the command.

alias xyz="./path/to/file"

Save the file and restart terminal.

Next time you can run the program by typing just xyz
