Intellij IDEA 2021.1 on Cent OS - do not have an executable as that of windows
Answered
HI,
I am using the Intelij IDEA 2021.1 Ultimate Edition in both Windows 10 and Cent OS 8. In Windows I get a double clickable icon and I keep it as a shortcut on the status bar just to click and invoke. However, on Cent OS, I don't have any such facility. All I do is go to the `bin` directory of the Intelij IDEA software and run the `idea.sh file.
is this the only way to run this? or any other ways I can have the double clickable file on the taskbar/status bar of Cent OS?
Note: I do have an option to make other software to make as favorite so that it stays on the left side panel on Cent OS. But when I right click on the Intellij IDEA icon, I get nothing.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

You can use Tools | Create Desktop Entry. Note that this menu is available only when you install from tar.gz.

Thanks Konstantin Annikov. Let me take a look at the URL you had shared and update you.

This worked like a Charm. Thank you. Now I am able to get a menu item when I right click on the App Icon on the status bar to make it added as a Favorite. It made my day :)
