Install bun on Omarchy
Bun is an all-in-one JavaScript and TypeScript toolkit: a fast runtime (built in Rust/Zig on JavaScriptCore rather than V8) meant as a drop-in alternative to Node.js, plus a built-in package manager, bundler, and test runner in a single executable. The goal is to collapse a typical JS project's separate tools into one fast binary, cutting install and startup times compared to a traditional Node/npm/webpack/Jest stack.
