Custom Launcher for IntelliJ IDEA in Ubuntu Unity

I got few information/ideas, how to create custom launcher from:

You have to create a file .desktop to enable quick start (windows key) for ubuntu.

Two options:

For all users

  1. First your application should be in a place, where every user can use it, like in /opt/.
    • extract and copy intelliJ to /opt/idea-IU/.

  2. Create an <application>.desktop file in usr/share/applications/

    • You might have to use root rights through sudo to create .desktop file at this place.
    • create a intelliJ.desktop file with:
      • [Desktop Entry] Name=IntelliJ IDEA Version=16.1 Exec=/opt/idea-IU/bin/idea.sh Icon=/opt/idea-IU/bin/idea.png Terminal=false

        StartupNotify=true Type=Application Categories=Development;IDE;

  3. // mod permissions
    • sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/applications/intellij.desktop sudo chown root:root /usr/share/applications/intellij.desktop

for youself

  1. know where your application is installed or stored
  2. create a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications

done have fun :D
