Full log:

➜  opentui git:(doc/remove-go-installation) bun install
cd packages/core
bun run src/examples/index.ts

bun install v1.2.22 (6bafe260)

Checked 214 installs across 216 packages (no changes) [37.00ms]
error: Cannot find module '@opentui/core-linux-x64/index.ts' from '/opentui/packages/core/src/zig.ts'

It looks like zig.ts is looking to import something based on system architecture, and it's failing to identify one for my system:

// zig.ts
const module = await import(`@opentui/core-${process.platform}-${process.arch}/index.ts`)

Mhh if the os an arch match for the optional dependency it should be installed. Try installing the @opentui/core-linux-x64 package manually?

I got the same error. Manually installing @opentui/core-linux-x64 works, but it seems that bun only installs optionalDependencies from the root package.json file. So I believe the correct solution would be to move the entire optionalDependencies section from packages/core to the root package.json file. I can submit a PR for this.
