    Hi santosh, you'll need to clarify how it's "not accessible from local user"

    Is it not in your $PATH (in which case add it's location to your $PATH), is it there but dosn't have execute permission for your user (in which case change the permissions with chmod), or if it's both visible and executable, what error message are you getting when you try to use it?

      Hi, It's working fine after setting the PATH. Thanks for reply. santosh.
