This means that cvs is not installed in your path.
The output of the following should help folks diagnose what you need to do next.

Are you the administrator of the machine?
if the answer is no,
   then
        contact the administrator and ask
        that person to help you get cvs in your path.
   else
        continue to gather the information listed below
fi

1) is there a cvs binary on the machine?
execute: locate cvs|grep bin\/cvs$
if it finds something, then you need to get that directory in your path.


2) are you on a machine configured to get programs using yum, and does it have 
a cvs package the admin could install?
execute: yum info cvs
if it comes back with something like:
Name       : cvs
Arch       : i386
Version    : ....
then the admin could execute 'yum -y install cvs' to install cvs.
{similar commands could be done on an apt machine, but I have no experience 
with apt}
