When I created a symlink, it did not work until I started another terminal. Try restarting your terminal... or my answer that works without symlinks/aliases ^^

@Leftium: You also need to run: source ~/.bashrc to reload the .bashrc file (if you want to avoid restarting the terminal) read more..

Symlinking at a new location almost certainly needs a hash node invocation in your existing terminals, because modern shells remember the location of commands that have been previously looked up in PATH. The hash builtin command in such shells tells them to redo the lookup, and remember the new location.
