I'm running it on a M1 mac:

I assume this is caused by ipv6.

For me it immediately trows this error. I have a working Internet connection. I also upgraded to v1.0.1 and still the same issue

Having this problem in an M1 mac using 1.0.1 too, but it does work if I set IPv6 to link-local only.

Sep 13 '23 14:09 abdielbrilhante

I am not sure how to configure IPv6 to link-local only on linux. For me it works when i disable IPv6 in kernel cmdline parameters

ipv6.disable=1

Sep 13 '23 15:09 PrajvalBadiger

same problem with 1.0.2

Sep 20 '23 18:09 jjhesk

I got this when I ran time bun install

Sep 23 '23 04:09 shamiulalamupom

Fixed by this:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IPv6#Disable_IPv6

# /etc/sysctl.d/40-ipv6.conf

# Disable IPv6
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

Then run sudo systemctl restart systemd-sysctl.service

Sep 24 '23 17:09 acro5piano

Can confirm this is still an issue for bun 1.0.4, I was able to work around on macos by setting IVP6 to "Link-local Only" in system settings. Including screenshot here in case it saves someone else a bit of time

So yes, disabling or preferring IPv4 is the correct solution. Here's the process for WSL:

Open this /etc/gai.conf config file using this command: sudo vi /etc/gai.conf

Either add or uncomment this line precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100, uncommenting is removing the # sign.

Tap Esc key and then type :w to save file. Close and reopen terminal, bun install should install now.

N.B.: This will PREFER IPv4 not necessarily turn IPv6 off.

Oct 09 '23 04:10 Kitanga

Can confirm this is an issue on bun 1.0.21. Disabling IPv6 solved the issue. (On Debian 11)

Jan 02 '24 18:01 godismyjudge95

might be related. I get this while trying to bun install or bun add anything on an old intel mac (it's so old the latest OS available for it is Big Sur)

The error is slightly different to above failed to initialize compression stream downloading package manifest

I tried disabling IPv6 as best I could but wasn't able to move forward

I'm also getting the same error on an old intel mac bun 1.0.21

failed to initialize compression stream downloading package manifest

I set ipv6 to link-local only, but that didn't work.

Hi,

Same here on a Macbook pro Mid 2014 (Intel) and MacOS Big Sur 11.7.10.

yes, it's the IPV6 problem.

Is there any way to solve it? I also encountered such a problem

Jan 09 '24 11:01 yangfan-coder

Check my link on Discord, you can set an environment variable in front of “bun install”

disabling ipv6 is not a solution.

Mar 05 '24 15:03 terminaldweller

Any update on this? Issue still persists with v1.1.0 even when IPV6 disabled or env var passed.

I am on macOS 14.3 M1 Max.

I encountered the issue while trying to download the package manifest for the create-astro package in Bun and Astro. The error message error: ConnectionRefused downloading package manifest create-astro followed by error: create-astro@latest failed to resolve is displayed when attempting to create a new Astro project using the command bun create-astro@latest app --yes.

Additionally, I faced a similar problem when trying to create a React app using the command bun create react my-app and create astro@latest -- --template framework-react. However, the bun init command runs without any issues.

I performed these attempts within a Docker environment using the following Dockerfile and Docker Compose configuration:

Dockerfile:

FROM oven/bun:latest
WORKDIR /app
RUN bunx create-astro@latest app --yes
USER bun
EXPOSE 4321/tcp
ENTRYPOINT ["tail", "-f", "/dev/null"]

Docker Compose:

version: '3.8'

services:
  app:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
      - "4321:4321"
    volumes:
      - ./app:/app

It seems that the issue arises specifically when trying to download the package manifest and resolve dependencies within the Docker environment. The create-astro and React app creation commands fail to resolve dependencies properly, resulting in the mentioned errors.

I would appreciate any guidance or assistance in resolving this issue to successfully create Astro and React projects within the Docker environment using Bun.

I am using a proxy on MacOS.

The origin config is:

export HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:7890
export http_proxy=http://localhost:7890
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://localhost:7890
export https_proxy=http://localhost:7890

Another tools works well but Bun does not. I change the localhost to 127.0.0.1 and now it works.

Apr 08 '24 15:04 PeterlitsZo

Looking for a solution for this as well

Apr 15 '24 15:04 riezahughes

It worked for me when I disabled the global cache. (It might be that I have invalid entries in my global cache?) I added this to mu bunfig.toml file:

[install.cache]
# when true, don't load from the global cache.
# Bun may still write to node_modules/.cache
disable = true

# when true, always resolve the latest versions from the registry
disableManifest = false
