solved Error: the fd command does not exist or is not executable!

[Alfred-Chris]

Hi

 

I would like to use the "Recent Documents" workflow.

 

I get the following error message when I execute the workflow and can't find a match on google or here in the forum to solve it.

 

Can someone guide me into the correct direction?

 

Thanks a lot in advance, 

Chris

You might do better to download from the Alfred gallery Recent Files. Not only is it likely to be much more up to date, it will also guide you to install anything upon which the workflow depends (like fd, for example).

Hi Stephen

 

Thanks a lot for taking the time.

 

Unfortunately I added the incorrect link to my post above (now corrected).

I installed the "Recent" workflow from https://alfred.app/workflows/jygh/recent-files/ 

 

After being guided by you in the right direction, I can now also see the statement on the site to install fd. 🤦‍♂️🙈

 

 

Thanks and sorry,

 

Chris

No problem and glad it's sorted.
