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.

terminal

bunx --bun astro dev

 astro  v7.2.2 ready in 200 ms
┃ Local    http://localhost:4321/
┃ Network  use --host to expose

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