Create a .desktop
file (you could use nano
instead of vim.tiny
or whatever you like):
sudo vim.tiny /usr/share/applications/scrcpy.desktop
Add the following contents.
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=scrcpy
GenericName=scrcpy
Comment=Screen mirroring application
Exec=scrcpy %F
Icon=phone-symbolic
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Categories=Development;GTK;
StartupNotify=true
It should be available just after creation.
