Installed Krunner, executable not available (discuss.tchncs.de)

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 🙏
