Running Claude Code with Deno or Bun rather than Node?

Resolved 💬 12 comments Opened Jul 7, 2025 by twardoch Closed Feb 28, 2026

Which JS engine do you use to run Claude Code? Node? Deno? Bun? Any experiences in using a non-default engine (that is, not Node)?

Node

claude

or

npx "$HOME/.claude/local/node_modules/.bin/claude"

Deno

deno run -A "$HOME/.claude/local/node_modules/.bin/claude"

Bun

bun --bun "$HOME/.claude/local/node_modules/.bin/claude"
