You did run bun install nuekit --global correct?

@Darth-Ness
You don't need to have nuekit installed to use bun create nue@latest.

@7999999166
I can't reproduce the error, but here are some ideas / suggestions.
Can you provide system details?
Have you tried clearing the cache?
Have you tried using bunx create-nue@latest instead?

If that also does not work, have you tried using pnpm create, yarn create or npm create at least for generating a base project?

[7999999166]

my system details are
1)11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11370H @ 3.30GHz
2)64-bit operating system
3)Windows 11
i have allready ran this command line bun install nuekit --global before bun create nue@latest

[7999999166]

on running command bunx create-nue@latest
this error is comming -->

uh-oh: cast causes pointer to be null
bun will crash now 😭😭😭

Oh. I wasn't expecting Windows. I thought bun didn't work properly on Windows yet, but it seems to generally run on your end?

The suggestion with bunx couldn't even work currently, because it isn't implemented on Windows yet. See oven-sh/bun#8045, oven-sh/bun#7942

This oven-sh/bun#7942 (comment) and this oven-sh/bun#159 (comment) say, that you can work around this with WSL for now.

Also see the general issue for Windows support: oven-sh/bun#43

So in conclusion, you could try using bun with WSL or use npm, pnpm, yarn instead for now, even if it's just for creating the project structure, and using bun to run it.

Not sure, if this also works on Windows:

My way of creating a `npm`-based `nue` project is currently:

• creating my project folder my-app
• cd my-app
• npm create nue@latest
  • name src
  • select my template
• npm i -D nuekit
  • add script "dev": "nue -r src"
  • add script "build": "nue -p -r src"

So my file tree looks something like this:

• nue
  • node_modules/
  • package.json
  • src/
    • site.yaml
    • ...
    • more template files

with a package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nue -r src",
    "build": "nue -p -r src"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "nuekit": "^0.2.0"
  }
}

Edit: also needs bun installed, because of #!/usr/bin/env bun in Nuekit's cli.js

According to Bun installation docs it "provides a limited, experimental native build for Windows". I updated Nue installation docs to recommend Bun only under MacOS and Linux and Node under Windows.

Thank you @Darth-Ness and @nobkd for providing crucial help for the OP! 🙏

Hi. I work on Bun. @tipiirai, can you close this issue?

It is a duplicate of oven-sh/bun#8045

Hey, @paperdave — glad to see Bun contributors here! Bun is awesome.
