Add the path, We must add the binary path so that you can easily call the binary

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.aztec/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

To make you sure that the binary is the latest version:

aztec-up latest
source ~/.bash_profile

mkdir -p /root/aztec/aztec-data
mkdir -p /root/aztec/bin
