title: Detect when code is executed with Bun
sidebarTitle: Detect Bun
mode: center
---
Check `process.versions.bun` to detect whether code is running in Bun. This works in both JavaScript and TypeScript without extra type definitions.
```ts
if (process.versions.bun) {
// this code will only run when the file is run with Bun
}
```
---
Alternatively, check for the `Bun` global, the same way you'd check for `window` to detect a browser.
<Note>
In TypeScript, this check is a type error unless `@types/bun` is installed. Install it with `bun add -d @types/bun`.
If you're using TypeScript 6.0 or later, you also need `"types": ["bun"]` in your `compilerOptions`. See [TypeScript 6
and 7](/typescript-6) for details.
</Note>
```ts
if (typeof Bun !== "undefined") {
// this code will only run when the file is run with Bun
}
```
