Akebi

Akebi allows Python programs to manage Bun installations. It is intended for programs that need to install or run Node.js packages but do not wish to depend on the end user having an appropriate runtime or package manager installed.

Installation

pip install akebi

Usage

First, create an akebi.Bun object:

from akebi import Bun

bun = Bun()
bun = Bun(version="1.3.14")  # use a specific version of Bun
bun = Bun(version="latest")  # use the latest version of Bun

You can then invoke Bun by calling the Bun object you just created. A Bun object takes a subprocess.run-esque list or string containing command-line arguments.

bun(["run", "index.ts"])
bun(["add", "next"])
bun(["create", "docusaurus"])

Akebi will automatically install Bun when you invoke it, but you can also install it explicitly with Bun.setup:

bun.setup()

# or, to forcibly overwrite existing installations of the same version:

bun.setup(force=True)

Under the hood, Akebi uses subprocess.run to invoke Bun. Keyword arguments passed to Bun objects will be passed through to subprocess.run, e.g.:

bun("update tailwindcss", shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)

Isolated installations

If you want to ensure the Bun installations used by your program aren't touched by anything else that uses Akebi, you can set Bun.app_name:

bun = Bun(app_name="com.example.myapp")

Bun installations created by your program will be located under an app_name subdirectory. You should choose an app name that's consistent within your program and not likely be taken by other programs that use Akebi.
