## Example

```python
rt = find_runtime()
if rt:
    print(rt.executable)   # cli if present, else gui
```

## Notes

Read-only property. Returns [cli](/docs/api-runtime-cli) when the console client is present, otherwise
[gui](/docs/api-runtime-gui); `None` only if neither launcher was found. Use it when you just want
"the thing to run" and don't care which of the two it is.
