Is there any way to switch from npm to pnpm or bun?

I'm a front-end developer.

I have many projects to manage, and currently it seems I can only manage them through npm. Some projects require pnpm or bun. Is there any way to switch from npm to pnpm or bun?

hi! You can use any package manager you like, we use pnpm for vibe-kanban.

The only place we use npm under the hood is to start the coding agents, e.g.: npx -y @anthropic-ai/[email protected] for claude npx -y @openai/[email protected] for codex

What coding agent are you using? Is there any reason calling it via npx would fail?

I'm using Claude. You can see the attached image. My project is managed using Bun. When I add this project using vibe-kanban and execute a task, I get the error shown in the image: npm error code EOVERRIDE. So, I'd like to ask if there's a way to select Bun or pnpm when creating a task?

If my project is managed by npm, the error shown in the image doesn't occur.

I have the same issue on Mac os latest when starting vibe kanbaan with bunx instead of npx

I installed Claude Code using native installer (not npm)
