I just created a simple application which creates a file on my desktop and writes "HAHA" in it. I made it in C++ and used g++ to get a binary. It works but it's not really "installed" on linux mint.

So I wondered how do I do that? How can I tell linux mint to show this in my menu where all my installed applications are listed?

I heard something about moving it into /usr/bin with a bash script. I moved the application to /usr/bin with terminal but there were no changes (the app is in the directory but it's not displayed in my menu). Or do I have to restart linux mint?

Maybe you could send me a link to a good tutorial. I need some help...
