how to start code::blocks IDE

Hi everyone,

I'm learning C++ as a non-professional, (so like a hobby), and so far I know nothing.

I'm going through an instructional self-teach book and I'm stuck on the part that says

"open the code::blocks executable program using the technique your platform usually requires".

..... I was able to install "code::blocks IDE" in Trisquel using the "Add/Remove Applications" menu. But now I'm supposed to run it. Unlike other things I install through that menu, I don't see it anywhere to click on..... perhaps I have to run it via the terminal? If so, how would I do that?

thanks everyone,
