Setting Up Your Coding Environment
Prerequisite tools
We need to have Bun, and UV, the python package manager, installed.
UV Installation
Run this command:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Output should look like this if you're on mac
# downloading uv 0.5.18 aarch64-apple-darwin
# no checksums to verify
# installing to /Users/youusername/.local/bin
# uv
# uvx
# everything's installed!
Test that it worked by running uv –version. It should output the following:
uv 0.5.18 (27d1bad55 2025-01-11)
That’s all we need to do with UV for now.
Bun Installation
Run this command to install bun:
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
# This command should output:
# ######################################################################## 100.0%
# bun was installed successfully to ~/.bun/bin/bun
# Run 'bun --help' to get started
You can run bun –help to verify that it installed correctly.
This is all you should need to get started with the course, so let’s get to scaffolding everything!
