What you did is possible, but I don't recommend it if you just started out.

It's probably easier to create a catkin workspace, put the um7 package in that and build it using catkin_make. If successful, source devel/setup.bash. Then try your rosrun .. command again.

See Creating a workspace for catkin for a tutorial.
