You need to make it in to a bash script, then execute the script.

1. Create a new text file, e.g. `script.sh`.
2. Add a shebang as the first line: `#!/usr/bin/env bash`.
3. Paste the commands below the shebang.
4. Ensure the file uses Unix (LF) line endings.
5. Make it executable: `chmod +x script.sh`.
6. Run it: `./script.sh`.

Google for more info.
