Bun command not found on Linux

After a clean install of bun on Linux, the bun command will not be recognised by the commandline, because bun was not automatically added to PATH

It will probably return a message as following,

bun --version

Command 'bun' not found, did you mean:

  command 'ben' from deb ben (0.9.0ubuntu2)
  command 'bus' from deb atm-tools (1:2.5.1-4)
  command 'zun' from deb python3-zunclient (4.0.0-0ubuntu1)

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

You can solve this with the following actions :

1. Edit the .bashrc file

nano nano ~/.bashrc 

2. Add the following lines at the end of your .bashrc file

BUN_INSTALL="/home/{USERNAME}/.bun"
PATH="$BUN_INSTALL/bin:$PATH"

with {USERNAME} replaced by your username.

3. Close your terminal and open a new shell

bun --version

should now return information on the installed version of bun
