Create .desktop
extension file in ~/.local/share/applications
. For example:
touch ~/.local/share/applications/isoplex.desktop
Then open it with the text editor:
scratch-text-editor ~/.local/share/applications/isoplex.desktop
And write this in there:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=command to run here
Name=visible name here
Comment=comment here
Icon=icon path here
You must manually find and assign it the path to the executable file, and the icon. Don't forget to make the file executable (chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/isoplex.desktop
).
Then you can drag&drop the desktop file onto Plank or launch it from Slingshot and then 'Keep in dock'.
