how to get a launcher desktop icon for matlab R2019a












0















i am very new to Linux as a whole. I use an alienware 15 R2 with Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS on it.



i have installed matlab R2019a in the folder /media/srikar/Code/Matlab



The ./matlab code path is /media/srikar/Code/Matlab/bin ./matlab



Please help me create a desktop launcher icon. I have gone through other answers for similar cases, but i couldn't figure out how to solve the issue in my case where the installed directory is different from the default. I installed matlab on my external drive.



Thanks a lot for the help.
