In this video, I go over how to run programs in Linux and add program shortcuts to terminal and menu options for your desktop environment.

/bin directory is where system programs run from - DO NOT add yours here

edit PATH by adding export to ~/.bashrc
$

./ to run
sudo chmod +x to add as an executable program

double click in file explorer or right click allow program to execute

Adding programs to start menu
/usr/share/applications (All Users)
~/.local/share/applications (Local User)
