How To Fix grun: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu grun is provided by grun package.

grun is:

gRun is a GTK+ based Run dialog that closely resembles the Windows Run dialog, just like xexec. It has a intelligent history mechanism and a dual level fork() mechanism for launching the application in its own process. gRun also has support for launching console mode application in an XTerm as well as associations for file types.

gRun is much more powerful than xexec, looks a lot better, and has the big advantage that you can start typing a command without having to mouse-click into the text field.

gRun is especially useful if you do not use the GNOME desktop which has a built-in run command, and if you use a window-manager (e.g. IceWM) where you can define a keyboard shortcut (e.g. Alt-F2) for staring gRun.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install grun

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install grun.

sudo apt -y install grun

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install grun
