Laravel Cloud installs and runs npm by default during deployments. However, if you prefer to use an alternative JavaScript package manager like Yarn, Bun, or PNPM, you can do so by customizing your build commands.

These tools are not officially supported by Laravel Cloud, but you can install them manually within your build steps.

If you plan to use a different JavaScript package manager via the examples below, be sure to remove or comment out the default npm commands in your build commands before adding the custom commands.

​
Example: Using Bun

If you would like to use Bun instead of npm, you can override the default build command in your site’s settings with the following:

npm install -g bun
bun install
bun run build

​
Example: Using Yarn

To use Yarn instead of npm:

npm install -g yarn
yarn install
yarn run build

​
Example: Using PNPM

To use PNPM instead of npm:

npm install -g pnpm
pnpm install
pnpm run build
