I installed FreeCAD on Linux (Ubuntu) and created an icon
Introduction
If you install FreeCAD, which is the highest peak of 3dCAD on Ubuntu, it is a waste that you can only start it from the command line. So I made an icon and started it from the launcher. If you use this method, you can freely change the icon and the default startup option in other apps. I won't talk about that, but it will be useful later if you know that you can do it.
FreeCAD installation
There is also an apt original package, but it seems that the version is old, so I will put the latest stable version with PPA.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freecad
Find FreeCAD .desktop files
Linux application icons are managed as options in the .desktop file. So use the god command locate on linux to find the FreeCAD .desktop file. Did you put locate? I'm losing 80% of my life, so please put it in now.
locate freecad.desktop
Well maybe
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/freecad:freecad.desktop
It's a hit, so you can access it separately. Copy this to ~/.local/share/applications in the folder that manages the icons.
sudo cp /usr/share/app-install/desktop/freecad:freecad.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/freecad.desktop
Now when you search for an app with SuperKey, it will come out.
Add icon
Since the icon is pure white, set the icon. Download your favorite icon and save it as "freecad.png ". Since it is not cached, save it in a location that will not be erased.
Edit the .desktop file from earlier.
sudo gedit ~/.local/share/applications/freecad.desktop
Changed the "Icon" part in the file. The location of the folder is the location where you saved "freecad.png ". The following is just an example.
Icon=/home/"user-name"/Pictures/Icon/freecad.png
Finally, save it and log out → log in to reflect it.
At the end
I shared it because I did something good if I did it a little. ~~ If you like this article, please subscribe to our highly rated button channel! ~~
