Trouble with m4 on linux

[M.R.P. zensky]

Hello I am on linux. M4 is installed. I try to define a macro in M4 by typing 
M4 —define (test,Hello)  I just get the message “bash: syntax error near 
unexpected token `(`   Do I need to install or setup some other program than m4 
for it to work? What am I doing wrong?
