Which Linux distribution are you using? You might also be interested in
using the provided TeXlive packages provided by the distribution
instead of installing your own. That would take quite a bit of work
out of your hands. I'm sure your distribution has install instructions.

It seems like your path was not carried over to your new terminal
session. Did you add the PATH to your .bashrc? If you didn't, you
should. Otherwise, your PATH will not include your TeXlive distribution
and you'll need to use the full path to get to the executable.

You can just paste the command you showed in this mail into the file
~/.bashrc to change your path permanently.

With kind regards,
