Flipper: Question: How to create Flipper shortcut on Ubuntu?

[mohamedsgap]

I've just download Flipper, and I wonder if there is a way to create a shortcut for Flipper, to access it easily!

Ubuntu version: 20.04

This is one way to create a desktop shortcut on Ubuntu

Update: Solved

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/Flipper.desktop

paste the following:
` #!/usr/bin/env/ xdg-open`

[Desktop Entry]

Version=0.51

Type=Application

Terminal=false

Exec=/home/USERNAME/Downloads/Flipper-linux/flipper

Name=Flipper

Comment=Extensible mobile app debugger

Icon=/home/USERNAME/Downloads/Flipper-linux/resources/app/icon.png
``

make it executable
sudo chmod +x /usr/share/applications/Flipper.desktop

@mohamedsgap Your solution did not work for me.

Instead I've created /usr/share/applications/Flipper.desktop with this content, like @lmj0011 mentioned.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Flipper
Comment=Extensible mobile app debugger
Exec=/home/user/path-to/Flipper-linux/flipper
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon=/home/user/path-to/Flipper-linux/resources/app/icon.png
NoDisplay=false

Also you need to make this file executable.

@vkotovv it's actually the same, but my solution makes you be able to add it to Favorites

That icon file doesn't exist in 0.73, but you can grab it from https://fbflipper.com/img/icon.png
