    Welcome to pkgx, the dev tool that runs anything, anywhere. A single binary that executes commands in any language, runs specific package versions or entire dev environments, across all platforms. Like npx is to JavaScript, pkgx is to everything else.

    Use the brand new “Bun Shell” on day one thanks to `pkgx`.
    Image
    
import { $ } from 'bun';

const response = await fetch("https://example.com");

// Pass JavaScript objects to & from scripts
await $`gzip -c < ${response}`.arrayBuffer()

// cross-platform rm
await $`rm -rf /tmp/` 

// variables are escaped.
await $`FOO=${process.argv.at(2)} bun ./foo.js`

// read output as text
const text = await $`echo hello`.text();

    pkgx has automated release packaging 🚢 If a package that already exists in pkgx releases a new version, our automation kicks off a new build process. That's how we are running Python 3.12 within 5 hours after its release. github.com/python/cpython…
