Hello vigneshprbh37!

We believe that this post does not fit the main topic of this site.

Whilst this involves bioinformatics software, your question is really about using your shell effectively. A good online tutorial would be more appropriate, or perhaps a post on superuser.com

For this reason we have closed your question. This allows us to keep the site focused on the topics that the community can help with.

If you disagree please tell us why in a reply below, we'll be happy to talk about it.

Cheers!

You should add blast_installation_folder/bin to your PATH in order to execute it from any folder without moving to blast bin directory.
