🥟 Install Bun on Debian 14 “Forky”

An all-in-one JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager

← Bun overview & all releases
📦 Currently serving: bun 1.3.14-4~forky for forky (updated 2026-07-14) — architectures: amd64. This page is regenerated automatically from the repository metadata, so the version above is exactly what apt install bun gives you today.

Debian 14 “Forky” is the current Debian testing release. Bun is not shipped at its latest version by the official Debian archives, so this repository builds current upstream releases as native .deb packages targeted specifically at forky, with dependencies matching what Debian 14 actually ships.

🚀 Install Bun on forky

Step 1: Add the deb.griffo.io repository

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt forky main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null sudo apt update
install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt forky main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null apt update

The sources line above pins the forky suite explicitly, so it keeps working in containers and images where lsb_release is unavailable.

Step 2: Install Bun

sudo apt install -y bun
apt install -y bun

🔄 Updating

Updates arrive through normal system maintenance — new upstream releases are usually packaged within hours:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade bun

🗑️ Uninstalling

sudo apt remove bun # optionally remove the repository as well: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is this an official Bun package?

No — deb.griffo.io is an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo. Packages are built automatically from official upstream Bun releases; the packaging is open source at dariogriffo/bun-debian.

Why not install Bun from the official Debian archive?

Debian's archive freezes package versions when a release ships and afterwards receives mostly security fixes, so fast-moving tools are either absent or several releases behind. This repository tracks upstream releases instead, with builds targeted at each Debian release.

How quickly do new Bun releases arrive?

The repository polls upstream releases and publishes new builds automatically, typically within hours of an upstream release. Subscribe to the release feed to follow updates.

Which architectures are supported on forky?

bun is currently built for: amd64.
