How do I change bun package manager cache in Windows?

[juliomuhlbauer]

I want to move the cache from the C disk to the F disk

[Jarred-Sumner]

You could set the environment variable BUN_INSTALL_CACHE_DIR

it's supposed to be smart enough to do this automatically though

[ZeroAurora]

I didn't find this environment variable anywhere in documentation, should we add this (and more envs) to the docs?
And you said "it's supposed to be smart enough to do this automatically though", but what I experience is that all caches goes to $USERPROFILE$\.bun . Is it an expected behavior?

how to change cache dir

[Super1Windcloud]

I use $USERPROFILE$\.bunfig.toml but can not change.我使用$USERPROFILE$\.bunfig.toml但无法更改。

yes , me to, So don't consider bun currently

I've set up a .bunfig.toml file with the following configuration but can't seem to change the cache location. Trying to put things in one folder for pipeline caching.

# Bunfig docs: https://bun.sh/docs/runtime/bunfig

[install]
auto = "auto"
globalDir = "./build/cache/.bun/install/global"
globalBinDir = "./build/cache/.bun/bin"

[install.cache]
# the directory to use for the cache
dir = "./build/cache/.bun/install/cache"

[install.lockfile]
save = true
print = "yarn"

[donywan]

Like this.

[install]

# where `bun install --global` installs packages
globalDir = "d:\\.bun\\install\\global"

# where globally-installed package bins are linked
globalBinDir = "d:\\.bun\\bin"

# set default registry as a string
registry = "https://registry.npmmirror.com/"

[install.cache]

# the directory to use for the cache
dir = "d:\\.bun\\install\\cache"

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

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

@donywan Could you help me understand the significance of the differences here?

[donywan]

You can try using an absolute path.

on linux, here is mine, globalBinDir gets the links but globalDir and the cache directory are ignored and they are put in the default of ~/.bun. Is this a bug?? Why are these settings ignored?

[install]
# optional = true
# dev = true
# peer = true
# production = false
# exact = false
# auto = "auto"
# frozenLockfile = false
# dryRun = false
globalDir = "/opt/bun/global"
globalBinDir = "/opt/bin"

[install.cache]
dir = "/tmp/cache/bun"
# disable = false
# disableManifest = false

# [install.lockfile]
# save = true
