          You can do that by creating a launcher for the application (.desktop file) in your ~/.local/share/applications directory.



          First create an empty text file, name it something like <application-name>.desktop, and add the following lines to it



          [Desktop Entry]
          Name=Application Name
          Comment=A short description of the application
          Exec=/full/path/to/application/executable
          Terminal=false
          Type=Application
          Icon=/full/path/to/icon-file


          Then save the file. If it doesn't appear in 'Show Applications' grid straightaway, log out and login again.



          You can do the same by using GUI applications, for example 'Main Menu' (aka alacarte). Install it by running the following command in Terminal



          sudo apt-get install alacarte
