Can't install Bun via npm/npx on Mac with an M1 processor

[mathiasrw]

What is the problem this feature would solve?

Node and npm/npx are on lots of (most) systems today.

To be able to provide easy one-liners for running scripts across computers it would be great if we can have npx execute bun like this

npx bun script.js

I know - its better to to install globally, but this will make the transition easier.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Make sure that npx bun script.js works. At the moment (with v1.0.2) it spits out

Failed to find package "@oven/bun-darwin-aarch64". You may have used the "--no-optional" flag when running "npm install".

What alternatives have you considered?

We can keep asking people to install yet another something, but lots or people are not allowed to install extra things (but have access to node behind the company firewall)

[mathiasrw]

Should probably have a "bug" tag instead of enhancement.

[maxenz]

same happening to me, any solution?

[MARCA-Charlie]

Same error on M2 Pro. Problem appears to be with "@oven/bun-darwin-aarch64" package.

npm i @oven/bun-darwin-aarch64 yields the following error.

[shubham-bgi]

This and #6177 are duplicates.

Fixed it by making a fresh installation of nvm and node. I was using nvm which I migrated from an intel to M1. That's why it is causing issues.

[ImLunaHey]

@shubham-bgi was the issue actually that or the fact you were trying this with a outdated node version?

[shubham-bgi]

I wasn't trying with an outdated version of Node but it is not the correct version for my Mac.
Since I migrated all my data from Intel i9 to M1 using Apple migration assistant it was using x64 or Intel-compatible node version.
if using nvm, you can check it with the command ls ~/.nvm/.cache/bin

Before the x64(intel) version of the node was installed.

After a fresh install of nvm and node, it's arm64 (apple silicon M1 and M2).

This fixed the issue.

Another quick fix is to use the force flag npm i -g -f bun. It overrides any OS checks.

I see the same! Interesting. I'll reinstall node later and report back if it works for me. Thanks

After removing node_modules and reinstalled packages it's solved, but the problem is back when I run pnpm install multiple times:

node_modules/.pnpm/bun@1.0.7/node_modules/bun: Running postinstall script, failed in 334ms
.../.pnpm/bun@1.0.7/node_modules/bun postinstall$ node install.js

│ Error: Failed to install package "bun"

[AlexanderTunick]

This should be a fix for you:
I had this error today when trying to install bun. Turned out the root cause of the issue was the difference in architecture between my old Intel MacBook pro and my current M2 Pro Max. Since I used Apple data migration from the old Mac to the new one the packages that were installed on top of intel are kinda broken for Silicon. I had to remove all packet managers, node etc, and to make the fresh install of all it again.

After that everything worked out correctly.

[kyldvs]

This fixes the issue for me while using pnpm in a turbo mono repo on M2 Pro Max:

rm -rf ./node_modules
pnpm i
pnpm -w add bun

[nektro]

does this still reproduce for you? how about npx bun@1.0.25 script.js ?

[mathiasrw]

Seems to work now.

[kyldvs]

This is still an issue in 1.0.25 with pnpm, should this be re-opened or want a new issue started?

[mathiasrw]

New issue please.

[kyldvs]

Same here, very disappointed, can't install bun on M1 Mac

pnpm i -f has always worked for me to work around the issue. It's always been a temporary blocker

[AstralBaby]

im getting Failed to find package "@oven/bun-darwin-aarch64" althought i was able to install it 🥱 very disappointing, was about to give bun a chance, but it looks like its to early, 4 hours wasted just to go back to node

[ouzhou]

just change nodejs arch to arm64 by using nvm, default nodejs use x64

nvm install v20.12.2 --arch arm64
# temp use in current iterm
nvm use v20.12.2
# always set nodejs default version
nvm alias default  v20.12.2

then

npm i -g bun
