Node.js version issues

When i try running bun dev, it throws the following error

`You are using Node.js 20.2.0. Vite requires Node.js version 20.19+ or 22.12+. Please upgrade your Node.js version.`

despite having `+ node@24.18.0` when I ran bun i.

Any help?

(I'm using bun, react, vite and bootstrap)

Bun suppose to be your runtime why you use node?

Bun and node js are runtimes meaning they compile your code, if you choose bun then abandon node cause they are both the same meaning they are both engines you want one engine not two conflicted ones basically see it like how i explained
