How to start hugin (photostitcher program) in Ubuntu 18.04?

Tried installing the photostitching program hugin . First attempt was using synaptic package manager. It appeared to install but there was no entry in menu to be able to start the program. After checking on this forum I found a suggestion to uninstall it and reinstall using terminal. Did that, using command line sudo apt-get install hugin It appeared to install again, no errors, but there is still no entry in the menu - how do I start this program? I am relatively new to Linux so please write plain non-technical answer.

You have installed Hugin from deb-package. The deb-package is an archive with some contents inside it.

This package installs desktop-file shortcuts, so on GNOME Shell you can press Super/Win key and find Hugin Panorama Creator here:

On GNOME Classic, Xfce, KDE or MATE it will be placed in Graphics section:

Hugin icons

As any other application it also may be launched from terminal or Alt+F2 - by executing hugin command.
