OK I've installed it on my machine (the 4.3 version you have not the 5.0 
beta which doesn't work on my distro). It has most likely installed to 
/home/yourusername/google-earth (with a link to it in your home 
directory), and the command you need to type to start it is just:

~/googleearth

If you want to add a menu item for it, find the menu editor (system > 
preferences > Main menu), and then add a new entry with the command set 
to '/home/yourusername/google-earth/googleearth'. There is an icon for 
the menu-item in the google-earth directory.
