Bun's package manager can install any publicly available tarball URL as a dependency of your project.
bun add zod@https://registry.npmjs.org/zod/-/zod-3.21.4.tgzRunning this command will download, extract, and install the tarball to your project's node_modules directory. It will also add the following line to your package.json:
package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"zod": "https://registry.npmjs.org/zod/-/zod-3.21.4.tgz"
}
}The package "zod" can now be imported as usual.
import { z } from "zod";
