In linux, executables must either be located in your PATH, or the executable
name has to have the path prepended -- which is what you're doing when you
use "./". (Actually, you _can_ add "./" to your PATH but this is considered a
poor idea from the security standpoint.)

The directory is not in your path. ./ means run this in the current
directory. You can edit the PATH in your environment to include the path.
But some people don't add the PATH to our home directory for security
