### Use via JSR (Deno / Bun)

    `@supabase/server` is also published to [JSR](https://jsr.io/@supabase/server) for Deno and Bun environments.

  </RefSubLayout.Details>

  <RefSubLayout.Examples>

    <Tabs
      size="small"
      type="underlined"
      defaultActiveId="deno"
      queryGroup="platform"
    >
      <TabPanel id="deno" label="Deno">

        ```sh Terminal
        deno add jsr:@supabase/server
        ```

      </TabPanel>
      <TabPanel id="bun" label="Bun">

        ```sh Terminal
        bunx jsr add @supabase/server
        ```

### Optional peer dependencies on Deno

<RefSubLayout.EducationRow>
  <RefSubLayout.Details>

    Some entry points rely on optional peer dependencies. `@supabase/server/middleware/postgres` and `@supabase/server/middleware/postgres-admin` need `pg`. Deno resolves an optional peer only when your own code imports it. A pin in `deno.json` alone is not enough: `deno check` passes and the function fails at startup with `Could not find package 'pg'`.

    Add a bare import once, at the top of your entry module — no separate `deno add npm:pg` or `package.json` entry is needed. `deno info` lists `npm:/pg@...` once the package is in the module graph.

    Deno 2.9 and later apply a minimum dependency age to npm packages. To use a release published the same day, pass `--minimum-dependency-age 0` to `deno check`.

  </RefSubLayout.Details>

  <RefSubLayout.Examples>

    ```ts index.ts
    import 'pg'
    import { withPostgresClient } from '@supabase/server/middleware/postgres'
    ```

    ```sh Terminal
    deno info index.ts | grep "npm:/pg@"
    ```
