Good Morning Brian:

This depends upon your shell environment PATH setting.
It is a good idea from a security point of view to
use a PATH setting without the cwd . in the PATH.
When it is like this, you would need to run a command
as ./liftOver if it hasn't been placed in one of
the bin directories that is in your PATH.  If you place
the liftOver command in one of your bin directories,
you will not need to use ./liftOver
