title: Build an app with Remix and Bun
sidebarTitle: Remix with Bun
mode: center
---
Currently the Remix development server (`remix dev`) relies on Node.js APIs that Bun does not yet implement. The guide
below uses Bun to initialize a project and install dependencies, but it uses Node.js to run the dev server.
---
Initialize a Remix app with `create-remix`.
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun create remix
```
```txt
remix v1.19.3 💿 Let's build a better website...
dir Where should we create your new project?
./my-app
â—¼ Using basic template See https://remix.run/docs/en/main/guides/templates#templates for more
✔ Template copied
git Initialize a new git repository?
Yes
deps Install dependencies with bun?
Yes
✔ Dependencies installed
✔ Git initialized
done That's it!
Enter your project directory using cd ./my-app
Check out README.md for development and deploy instructions.
```
---
To start the dev server, run `bun run dev` from the project root. This will start the dev server using the `remix dev` command. Note that Node.js will be used to run the dev server.
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
cd my-app
bun run dev
```
```txt
$ remix dev
💿 remix dev
info building...
info built (263ms)
Remix App Server started at http://localhost:3000 (http://172.20.0.143:3000)
```
---
Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to see the app. Any changes you make to `app/routes/_index.tsx` will be hot-reloaded in the browser.
---
To build and start your app, run `bun run build`
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun run build
```
```txt
$ remix build
info building... (NODE_ENV=production)
info built (158ms)
```
Then `bun run start` from the project root.
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun start
```
```txt
$ remix-serve ./build/index.js
[remix-serve] http://localhost:3000 (http://192.168.86.237:3000)
```
