head(1) is the standard UNIX utility for copying the first lines
of a file.  It's described at
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcu/head.html>.

The point is that it (and other utilities) *must* exist on any system
that's at least trying to be UNIX-like.

Check your PATH environment variable.  Perhaps some system directory
(the one containing the head(1) utility) needs to be added to it
(e.g., /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /opt/bin).

Or, it could be that the operating-system on your computer was installed
incorrectly.
