Ulauncher is a simple desktop application for Linux that allows users to launch installed applications and open file directories using a fast and convenient user interface. It’s written in Python and uses GTK as a GUI toolkit.

How to install Ulauncher on Ubuntu 17.04, Ubuntu 16.10, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.04
- Note that I have outlined 3 methods of installing the app but only DEB package install worked for me on Ubuntu 16.04
From PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:agornostal/ulauncher sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ulauncher
From DEB Package
sudo apt-get install gdebi wget https://launchpad.net/~agornostal/+archive/ubuntu/ulauncher/+files/ulauncher_1.0.0_all.deb sudo gdebi ulauncher_1.0.0_all.deb
From Source
sudo apt-get install git git clone https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher.git cd Ulauncher ./install_deps ./run
./run will copy icon files to ~/.local/share/icons/ and .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications/. Then it will run the app.
After you run ./run once, you can find and start ulauncher from your OS launcher (like Ubuntu Dash, etc.)
