How run electron.js with bun?

875 views Asked by At

I recently switched my OS to Ubuntu and installed bun instead of Node.js. When I tried to use electron-forge, it said it needed NPM. I tried mapping NPM to bun but it didn't work. What exactly should I do to get electron-forge working with bun on Ubuntu?

I have also tried using electron, but that also had some issues. Can someone please provide me with some specific instructions on how to get electron-forge or electron working with bun on Ubuntu?

Additional information:

Ubuntu version: bun version: 1.0.3 electron-forge version (if applicable): 6.4.2 electron version (if applicable): 27.0.0 Errors or output from electron-forge or electron (if applicable):

$ electron-forge start

It looks like you are missing some dependencies you need to get Electron running.
Make sure you have git installed and Node.js version >= 14.17.5
