Solution

bunx — Execute a package binary (installed locally or fetched remotely). Note: bun x can be used as an alias for bunx. More information: <https://bun.com/docs/pm/bunx>.

Download and execute a package from the registry:
bunx {{package_name}} "{{command_argument}}"


Check the version of a locally installed package (if found):
bunx {{package_name}} --version


Force an executable to run with the Bun runtime (instead of Node):
bunx --bun {{package_name}}


Execute a binary that has a different name than its package:
bunx {{[-p|--package]}} {{package_name}} {{command}}


Download and execute a specific version of a package:
bunx {{package_name@version}} "{{command_argument}}"
