Executables are soft-linked in ./bin folder of the parent directory. If you did not compile, please follow these steps.

make hp
cd bin

After that, run the command,

./hp.x

If you are accessing the executable from QE input file folder, then you have to specify the whole path of the executable

/path-to-qe-folder/bin/hp.x

The best practice is to export the path variables into the ~/.bashrc or similar file, so that it can be accessible anywhere.

P.S. I presume you are using some flavor of linux OS or atleast compatible linux shell in windows.
