# For example:
# If your burpsuite jar is named: burpsuite_free_v1.5.jar
# ..and located at: /opt/burpsuite/
#
# export BURP_VER=1.5
# export BURP_PATH=/opt/burpsuite/
export BURP_VER=<insert burp version number here>
export BURP_PATH=<insert path to burp jar here>
# Extract icon
unzip ${BURP_PATH}/burpsuite_free_v${BURP_VER}.jar */icon64.png
# Make icon directory and move icon64.png inside it
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.local/share/pixmaps/
mv ./burp/media/icon64.png ${HOME}/.local/share/pixmaps/burpsuite.png
# Make applications directory (where the shortcut will be placed)
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.local/share/applications/
#Create launcher item

BUT In the papirus icon theme you can just use burp instead of /.local/share/pixmaps/burpsuite.png
