```sh
$ bun create next-app
✔ What is your project named? … my-app
✔ Would you like to use TypeScript with this project? … No / Yes
✔ Would you like to use ESLint with this project? … No / Yes
✔ Would you like to use `src/` directory with this project? … No / Yes
✔ Would you like to use experimental `app/` directory with this project? … No / Yes
✔ What import alias would you like configured? … @/*
Creating a new Next.js app in /path/to/my-app.
```

---

You can specify a starter template using the `--example` flag.

```sh
$ bun create next-app --example with-supabase
✔ What is your project named? … my-app
...
```

---

To start the dev server with Bun, run `bun --bun run dev` from the project root.

```sh
$ cd my-app
$ bun --bun run dev
```

---

To run the dev server with Node.js instead, omit `--bun`.

```sh
$ cd my-app
$ bun run dev
```
