I have installed some software from downloaded files (not from a repo) but I would like to be able to find them through the Ubuntu search engine in order to have them available in my task bar.

For example : I have installed "sublimetext3" from apt-get, and when I press "Win" then type "Subl" the software appear, and I can pin it to task bar.

All my software are in ~/Softwares, a directory I have created.

How can I achieve this ?

Thank you for your help

  • You probably need to create and install an appropriate desktop entry (.desktop file) - see for example How can I add an application to the GNOME window manager? Commented Jul 13, 2019 at 12:56
  • Thank you streeldriver, this was exactly my problem ! Kulfy : I installed it from a run file. The software is "Foxit Reader" Commented Jul 14, 2019 at 16:50
