Initialize a fresh Astro app with `bun create astro`. The `create-astro` package detects when you are using `bunx` and installs dependencies with `bun`.
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun create astro
```
```txt

Start the dev server with `bunx`.
By default, Bun runs the dev server with Node.js. To use the Bun runtime instead, pass the `--bun` flag.
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bunx --bun astro dev
```
```txt
astro v7.2.2 ready in 200 ms
┃ Local http://localhost:4321/
┃ Network use --host to expose
```

Open [http://localhost:4321](http://localhost:4321) in your browser to see the result. Astro hot-reloads the app as you edit your source files.
