## Usage
```bash
bunx [flags] <package>[@version] [flags and arguments for the package]
```
Execute an npm package executable (CLI). If the package isn't installed in `node_modules`, Bun installs it into a global shared cache.
### Flags
<ParamField path="--bun" type="boolean">
Force the command to run with Bun instead of Node.js, even if the executable contains a Node shebang (`#!/usr/bin/env
node`)
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="-p, --package" type="string">
Specify package to install when binary name differs from package name
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="--no-install" type="boolean">
Skip installation if package is not already installed
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="--verbose" type="boolean">
Enable verbose output during installation
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="--silent" type="boolean">
Suppress output during installation
</ParamField>
### Examples
```bash terminal icon="terminal"
# Run Prisma migrations

# Run a specific version of a package
bunx [email protected] app.js
