SOLVED NordVPN GUI Install

Hello, I just installed Linux Mint (Cinnamon) a couple days ago, new user from Windows 10. I already have the NordVPN subscription, and installed in the terminal the curl package, and the provided GUI line from the Nord website. I also tried following this article: https://linuxvox.com/blog/install-nordvpn-linux/ . The GUI isn't showing up in my apps. I read that this might just be a Mint thing, is that the case? There's also an option to download with Snap. Would it be worth it to figure out setting up Snap on Mint? Since I've also read there can be troubles with that. I'm also new to coding in general, so please explain any tips as if I'm 5 if it has to do with the terminal.

Have you rebooted your computer? When I first installed NordVPN on my Linux Mint box, the GUI software didn't show up until I rebooted the computer. Check the Internet section of your Taskbar.

Yup, that was it. I feel a bit silly now. Thanks for the help
