Run exec from anywhere in my home directory

[anjanesh]

I have an executable downloaded from the internet that I want to run from anywhere. Where do I put this executable such that I can run it from any path ?
I don't want to move it to /usr/bin - any location in /Users/username/bin ?

PS : I may need to re-download the executable for updates and move to bin again.

/usr/local/bin is where I put executables like that. I don't recall if that is in the default PATH, but you can always add it if not. In a Terminal window, echo $PATH will show you your current PATH.
