env: node: No such file or directory

Hi,

I install bun and then install a global package wscat via bun install -g wscat.
I can see wscat binary available, but when i call wscat --help I get: env: node: No such file or directory.
Why is it even searching for node and how can I fix it? Thanks!

I had a similar issue today and solved it with bunx --bun tailwindcss https://discord.com/channels/486935104384532500/1356878735793717300

Issue is due to node shebang used by wcat binary

Either install node or run it within the bun process as suggested above.

Another solution is to patch the package to use bun instead using bun patch. I do that for vite because I often forget to use --bun and the .toml option to always use bun doesn't seem to work.

is it not possible to create a symlink from node to bun?
