Install Robo3t on Ubuntu18.04 and make a desktop icon for it

Install Robo3t On Ubuntu 18.04

Download the package form Robo3t or using wget
wget https://download.robomongo.org/1.2.1/linux/robo3t-1.2.1-linux-x86_64-3e50a65.tar.gz
Extract here using

tar -xvzf robo3t-1.2.1-linux-x86_64-3e50a65.tar.gz

Make a new floder in usr/local/bin from the package

sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/robo3t

Move the extracted package to usr/local/bin

sudo mv  robo3t-1.2.1-linux-x86_64-3e50a65/* /usr/local/bin/robo3t

Change directory to cd /usr/local/bin/robo3t/bin
Now, We need to give permission to newly created directory using chmod

sudo chmod +x robo3t ./robo3t

Now we can run Robo3t ./robo3t

We can download the icon for Robo3t from and put it here as we will need to make desktop icon later

For example save it on /bin with name icon.png /usr/local/bin/robo3t/bin/icon.png

mv icon.png /usr/local/bin/robo3t/bin

To make desktop icon for Robo3t, we can make a file in usr/share/applications

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/robo3t.desktop

Paste these there and save

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=Robo3t
Icon=/usr/local/bin/robo3t/bin/icon.png
Exec="/usr/local/bin/robo3t/bin/robo3t"
Comment=Robo3t 
Categories=Development;
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true

Now, we can find the icon in application launcher menu by search for robo3t

We can check this also

why we are not just typing a simple command rather than this thing

sudo snap install robo3t-snap

With the new "Studio 3T Free" you don't need to configure the installation manually. There is now a shell script included in the downloaded archive and the only thing you need to do is to run the shell script included in the archive.

./studio-3t-linux-x64.sh

Is there a way to open new studio 3t from the terminal as I'm using wsl2?

@saisiddardha Unfortunately, I do not have experience with running the Linux GUI apps through WSL2, but by looking at the official Microsoft documentation, as per my understanding, only certain Linux GUI apps are currently supported for now.
