Aloha! I used to run krunner inside a hyprland session by invoking krunner via hotkeys or console.
Yesterday I removed plasma-desktop as hyprland does all I need except krunner.
I kept the krunner package, but the executable "krunner" is no longer found. Anything I can do except installing the whole plasma-desktop again?
the /usr/bin/krunner executable is owned by the plasma-workspace package. It has a lot of dependencies. So yeah, you basically need a huge chunk of kde/plasma to run it.
A pretty similar Qt-based launcher utility (not quite so good in some areas, possibly better in some) is called albert, if you don't want to use plasma anymore.
Tried Albert, seems very capable, alas it is considered to be a regular window in hyprland. I tried catapult from the aur. Blazing fast and does math, I found my new launcher. Thanks everyone ๐
This is still alot for one tool, but as far as I can see it will not install the whole plasma desktop again. I am running GNOME, so not sure if GNOME already brings some dependencies not mentioned in my output.

I dont't see
plasma-workspace
as a dependecy. Output from paru:This is still alot for one tool, but as far as I can see it will not install the whole plasma desktop again. I am running GNOME, so not sure if GNOME already brings some dependencies not mentioned in my output.
I have the krunner package installed, though I cannot run it in a console anymore as in- "$ krunner" command not found
Ah I see, ragica is right. krunner bin is part of plasma-workspace, kinda misleading that there's an own package.
Thanks, I ll take albert into consideration
