Install Apache Directory Studio in Linux

Creating Desktop Shortcut

Let's create a desktop shortcut for Apache Directory Studio.

Open a terminal as a root user and move into below directory:

cd /usr/local/share/applications

Creating a name.desktop file:

vi apache-directory-studio.desktop

Copy-paste below code into that file and save it.

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Name=Apache Directory Studio
Exec=/opt/ApacheDirectoryStudio/ApacheDirectoryStudio
Icon=/opt/ApacheDirectoryStudio/features/org.apache.directory.studio.nls.feature_2.0.0.v20210717-M17/studio.png
Categories=Network;Development
Keywords=ldap;

Please update Exec and Icon path according to your application version and placement. That's it. You should see now the launcher from application menu.
