First of all, make sure the file has executable permissions. If it
doesn't, you'll need to add them with `chmod +x a.out` before trying to
run the program.
Second, your current working directory is not in your path. You'll need
to run the program like `./a.out` to specify that the program is in the
current directory.

That would start up a new instance of the Bourne Shell and execute the
program inside that new shell.
