Rather than creating bash scripts to run programs from terminal, there is an easier way which is adding a Launcher to the menu in Ubuntu. Here is how to do it. First, change the directory to:
cd ~/.local/share/applications |
The next step is to open a nano editor:
nano softwareNameYouWantToAdd.desktop |
Last step is to add the following to the file:
[Desktop Entry]Type=ApplicationTerminal=falseIcon=PathToIconImageExec=/path/to/your/desired/softwareName=NameOfTheIcon |
