Add executable file to lubuntu menu

Question

I would like to add the gapminder executable file to the lubuntu menu, with as little terminal use as possible... Is there any way to do this? Here is an attached image of the file:

Answer 1

The easiest way in my opinion is this:
Open directory /usr/share/applications with sudo rights (easiest way with command 'gksu pcmanfm', gksu must be installed) and create the file appname.desktop and put this inside:

[Desktop Entry]
Name='appname'
Exec=/'path-to-app'/'appname'
Terminal=false
Type=Application

The menu will detect it automatically (a reboot may be needed).
