#Add shortcut to Application menu in Linux Mint

Example will be setting up VS Code on Mint and add shortcut to menu and panel.

Actually, it is really easy, you can just download ir from website, unzip in desired folder and run from there, so this is just about a way to add shourtcut where you want it.

##Download

Download and copy zip archive to folder you want VSC to reside in.

In my case it is ~/VSC

##Setup shortcut:

Add file with .desktop extension to directory /usr/share/applications/
