Confused about Siril installation On Ubuntu

Software Siril
1

I am confused about installing Siril on a new computer running Ubuntu 24.04.1. Your installation page offers me the choice of flatpak or appimage. The flatpak install is easy enough to do:

flatpak install flathub org.siril.Siril

But the command to run Siril is

flatpak run org.siril.Siril

i.e. a command line. Earlier editions of Siril provided a clickable icon.

After installing Siril this way, how may I create the ‘application’ framework enabling siril to be launched from the ‘Show Apps’ screen in ubuntu? I’m not scared of the command line but remembering the command is something of a pain.

Am I missing something?

Yeah, I think the icon populated onto the Show Apps screen after reboot.

For Ubuntu, it’s not clear on the website indeed but it’s probably best to use the PPA: Siril : lock042
