Add application installed in another disk to the application list CentOS

Question

After installing application to a mounted disk using rpm -i --prefix=/some/other/path/ packagename.rpm it is possible to open it using sh command. But it does not appear in application list and cannot search as well. is there any way to add these application to applications list.

Ex: I installed Atom to a mounted disk. To open Atom I have to go to the directory. Cannot search it by pressing super key and searching.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

@Choxmi Have you logged out and in? You have to do that or source a .bashrc. – mrc02_kr Sep 07 '17 at 13:34
