# Build an app with Next.js and Bun

[Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. It supports server-side rendering, static site generation, and API routes. Bun installs packages fast and can run Next.js development and production servers.

***

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a new Next.js app">
    Use the interactive CLI to scaffold a new Next.js project and install its dependencies.

    ```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
    bun create next-app@latest my-bun-app
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the dev server">
    Change to the project directory and run the dev server with Bun.

    ```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
    cd my-bun-app
    bun --bun run dev
    ```

    This starts the Next.js dev server with Bun's runtime.

    Open [`http://localhost:3000`](http://localhost:3000) in your browser to see the result. Changes you make to `app/page.tsx` are hot-reloaded in the browser.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update scripts in package.json">
    Prefix the Next.js CLI commands in your `package.json` scripts with `bun --bun` so that Bun executes the Next.js CLI for `dev`, `build`, and `start`.

    ```json package.json icon="file-json" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
    {
      "scripts": {
        "dev": "bun --bun next dev", // [!code ++]
        "build": "bun --bun next build", // [!code ++]
        "start": "bun --bun next start", // [!code ++]
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>
