### Step 12 (Optional) Create a Desktop launcher for Wabbajack
Once you're happy that Wabbajack is function correctly, you may want to create a Desktop launcher shortcut for our new Wabbajack-via-wine application.
Firstly, grab a copy of the Wabbajack icon to use:
```
wget -O $HOME/Wabbajack/Wabbajack.ico https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wabbajack-tools/wabbajack/main/Wabbajack.Launcher/Assets/wabbajack.ico
```
Next, create a new file in $HOME/Desktop called Wabbajack.desktop with the following contents (edit to suit your environment):
```
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Wabbajack
Exec=env HOME="$HOME" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" wine $HOME/Wabbajack/Wabbajack.exe
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=~/Wabbajack
Icon=/home/omni/Wabbajack/Wabbajack.ico
```
Unfortunately the standards for the .desktop file format require an absolute path for the Icon= entry, so it can't be shortened to $HOME or ~/ for ease, so you will need to specify the path in full for the desktop shortcut to have the Wabbajack icon.
You should now be able to start Wabbajack simply by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
### Post Wabbajack Steps
The above will get Wabbajack installed and running on your Linux system. It *does not* however, take care of any installation requirements to get the modlist itself running on Linux. You can see my [other guides within this github](https://github.com/Omni-guides/Wabbajack-Modlist-Linux/wiki) for specific lists, or [general steps](https://github.com/Omni-guides/Wabbajack-Modlist-Linux/wiki/General-Linux-Guide-(Anvil)) to take, or you can use my [Automated Installation Script](https://github.com/Omni-guides/Wabbajack-Modlist-Linux/wiki/Using-the-omni%E2%80%90guides.sh-Automation-Script) to take care of things for you.
