If you manually install applications on a Linux desktop you may have to create a desktop entry file so your desktop environment knows about the application and how to launch it. Desktop entries have an `icon` setting that is used to tell the desktop environment what icon to display for the application. However, you may find that just setting `icon=icon.svg` may not be enough to ensure the application's icon is desplayed correctly. This post explains an issue I had getting the icon setup correctly when using the wezterm appimage on my laptop.
