by default, the current working directory (CWD) is not in your $PATH

so append a ./ to the command, so in this case ./removeCiv.sh

or you can modify your path, in /etc/profile (for bash and compadible
shells) add

export PATH=$PATH:.

although it is somewhat of a security risk to have . in your path. depends
how important security is to you
