Start the dev server with bunx.

By default, Bun will run the dev server with Node.js. To use the Bun runtime instead, use the --bun flag.

```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}} bunx --bun astro dev

```txt  theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
  🚀  astro  v3.1.4 started in 200ms

  ┃ Local    http://localhost:4321/
  ┃ Network  use --host to expose

---

Open http://localhost:4321 with your browser to see the result. Astro will hot-reload your app as you edit your source files.
