To add an npm package as a dependency, use `bun add`.
|
|
|
|
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
|
|
bun add zod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This adds the package to `dependencies` in `package.json`. By default, Bun uses the `^` range specifier, which accepts future minor and patch versions.
|
|
|
|
```json package.json icon="file-json"
|
|
{
|
|
"dependencies": {
|
|
"zod": "^4.0.0" // [!code ++]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
To pin your project to the exact version you installed, use `--exact`. This adds the package to `dependencies` without the `^`.
|
|
|
|
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
|
|
bun add zod --exact
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
To specify an exact version or a tag:
|
|
|
|
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
|
|
bun add [email protected]
|
|
bun add zod@next
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
See [`bun install`](/pm/cli/install).
