  <pre><code>Source ~/anaconda3/bin/activate root
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And to run it I've to write each time</p>
  
  <pre><code>anaconda-navigator
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I am wanted to create a desktop entry but I'm having errors at multiple stages. Can you please explain from beginning how to create a desktop-entry for anaconda3 on Linux?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I've tried using this post <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/1017284/cant-create-anaconda-shortcut-to-launch-from-desktop-on-ubuntu-17-10/1062504#1062504">on AskUbuntu.</a> But, it failed for me. It is not showing on dock-bar as well as in <code>/usr/share/applications</code>. I'm really frustrated.</p>
