This works for me.

export BUN_INSTALL="/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.bun"
export PATH="$BUN_INSTALL/bin:$PATH"

Generalized version of @isaced's solution

  • touch ~/.zprofile if not exists
  • Append the below to ~/.zprofile with open ~/.zprofile command
export BUN_INSTALL="$HOME/.bun"
export PATH="$BUN_INSTALL/bin:$PATH"
