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].
