Add Jupyter Notetbook to application menu

I created a desktop icon for jupyter notebook by creating jupyter.dekstop in my home/arthur/desktop folder and can start jupyter-notebook by double clicking it.

Desktop Entry Type=Application Name=Jupyter GenericName=Jupyter Notebook Icon=/home/arthur/.local/share/icons/jupyter.png Exec=/home/arthur/miniconda3/bin/jupyter-notebook Categories=Development; Terminal=False StartupNotify=True 

I then copied jupyter.dekstop to /usr/share/applications/jupyter.desktop but I can't see it in application menue

You may have forgotten to mark it at executable.

sudo chmod +x /usr/share/applications/jupyter.desktop 

If it still does not show up, restart your computer.

This is an older question so I'm answering in case anybody else sees this. It looks like the format of the file is incorrect. The first line should be [Desktop Entry].
