Download the tar archive and extract into the installation folder. You will find the “Ringotel.desktop” file in the extracted folder. Then, please do the following:

  1. Open the “Ringotel.desktop” file

  2. Edit the following lines:
    -Path
    -Exec
    -Icon

Where <path-to-ringotel> is the location of the extracted application folder.

Example:
Path=/home/max/ringotel
Exec=/home/max/ringotel/run %u
Icon=/home/max/ringotel/icon

  1. Move “Ringotel.desktop” file to /home/<username>/.local/share/applications

After this, a shortcut in the “Show Applications” section should appear.
