Some apps like 64Gram only come in binary packages from github, you cant download them from package managers. You can launch it with double click or with “./Telegram”. This executable has these characteristics: “Telegram: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=df7bb04f9e9fca5e12495ce8bc71454170c6d5bb, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped”
How do i make it show up on app menu?

Create a desktop file for it e.g.:

Save it in ~/.local/share/applications directory if you want to add it in an app qube or in /usr/share/applications if you want to add it in a template.
