I am new to linux and am using xubuntu.

I have successfully installed maple 13 on my machine and its working fine. The problem is when ever I need to start maple, I have to do it through double click-- since typing maple or xmaple in terminal does not work the same as opening firefox by just typing firefox in terminal. Why?

I want my terminal to open maple 13 when some command like maple or xmaple is typed.

Open your terminal and paste these lines

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /home/sohail/maple13/bin/xmaple /usr/local/bin

then try again.

Edit:

type in your terminal as 

gedit .bashrc

and write

alias xmaple='/home/sohail/maple13/bin/xmaple'

Save & close. Type bash in your terminal and run source ~/.bashrc. Then type xmaple.
