I've installed ROS from source successfully and the command roscd works as expected.

Now I want to execute roscd in a bash script but get the error: roscd: not found

I've tried to find the command roscd but I got nothing: the output of find / -name roscd is empty.

Have you completed the installation instructions? Namely, the environment setup section? From that section

It's convenient if the ROS environment variables are automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is launched:
echo "source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Just make sure to change the kinetic portion to whatever version you installed.

Note: @jayess links to the regular (ie: binary) installation instructions, but environment setup is shared between from-source and binary installations.
