bun install

Install JavaScript dependencies for a project from package.json. More information: https://bun.com/docs/cli/install.

• Install all dependencies listed in package.json:

bun {{[i|install]}}

• Install a single package (this is an alias for bun add):

bun {{[i|install]}} {{package_name}}@{{version}}

• Install a package globally:

bun {{[i|install]}} {{[-g|--global]}} {{package_name}}

• Install only production dependencies (skips devDependencies):

bun {{[i|install]}} --production

• Install dependencies exactly from the bun.lockb lockfile (frozen lockfile):

bun {{[i|install]}} --frozen-lockfile

• Force re-download all packages from the registry, ignoring the cache:

bun {{[i|install]}} {{[-f|--force]}}
