bun 1.4.4-1~griffo for questing
(updated 2026-10-30), architectures: amd64, arm64. This page is regenerated automatically from the
repository metadata, so the version above is exactly what apt install bun gives you today.
Ubuntu 25.10 “Questing Quokka” is the current interim Ubuntu release. Bun is not shipped at its latest version by the official Ubuntu archives,
so this repository builds current upstream releases as native .deb packages targeted
specifically at questing, with dependencies matching what Ubuntu 25.10 actually ships.
And then it keeps doing it. Every new upstream release is packaged and published
here within hours, so Bun updates arrive the same way your system updates do, through
apt upgrade, unattended-upgrades, or whatever already runs on your machine. No release
page to watch, no version to compare, no dpkg -i to remember.
🚀 Install Bun on questing
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 questing main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt updateinstall -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 questing main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update🆓 There is an always-free mirror. deb-free.griffo.io serves packages free forever, no account, no subscription, at most 2 months behind upstream, security fixes immediately. It currently carries cliamp, Ghostty, lazydocker, Oh My Posh, Uncloud and Zed; Bun is not one of them, so the repository above is the only way to get it today, ask and it can be enrolled.
The sources line above pins the questing suite explicitly, so it keeps working in containers, minimal images and derivatives, whatever the machine reports.

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