How do I make launcher of Maple12 on my Desktop. Linux Mint

I have recently buy and installed Maple 12 on Linux Mint. It has installed on root directory. /root/maple12, the problem is that I don't know how to setup a launcher from the desktop.

What are all the steps do I need to follow?

Solution

  • Create an empty file on your Desktop named "Mapple12.desktop" and put the following content there:

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=Mapple12
Icon=path_to_icon_file
Exec=path_to_execuatble_file
Type=Application

    save and close the file.

    Finally modify permission on your mapple directory to run it from desktop:

    sudo chmod -R 777 path_to_mapple_directory
