# Build an app with Qwik and Bun

Initialize a new Qwik app with `bunx create-qwik`.

The `create-qwik` package detects when you are using `bunx` and will automatically install dependencies using `bun`.

```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
bun create qwik
```

```txts  theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
      ............
