I’m not sure what you mean.  
First, you cannot “run” Fortran Code. You have to compile it with a compiler and the resulting binary can be executed without any “Desktop App”.

Here is a guide on how to set up your OS for Fortran programming:

> **[Setting up your OS - Fortran Programming Language](https://fortran-lang.org/learn/os_setup)**
>
> Fortran Programming Language

If this doesn’t answer your question, please clarify what you need.

What OS are you using ?  
Are you gonna be using gfortran (GNU Fortran compiler) or ifort/ifx (intel compiler) ?  
There are many options.
