How to run locuszoom in Ubuntu 16.04

I would like to run locuszoom in Ubuntu 16.04

the code as I ran is below.

mkdir locuszoom && cd locuszoom
wget https://statgen.sph.umich.edu/locuszoom/download/locuszoom_1.4_srconly.tgz
tar -zxvf locuszoom_1.4_srconly.tgz
cd locuszoom_1.4_srconly.tgz/
cp locuszoom /usr/local/bin/ && chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/locuszoom

On the other hand, after installation process, locuszoom was not running and I only saw this message.

locuszoom: commnad not found

How can I install locuszoom well and run this program in Ubuntu.

Thanks advanced.

If you copy the entire folder to bin, then the binary you call with locuszoom is still in the locuszoom/bin folder and therefore not in PATH. Either add locuszoom/bin to PATH or do cp locuszoom/bin/locuszoom /usr/bin.
