Run `bun install` from the workspace root, where the `package.json` containing `"workspaces"` lives. If you installed from inside a package, remove its `node_modules` and any extra lockfile, then install again at the root. Each package should still list the dependencies it imports in its own `package.json`; Bun can hoist compatible versions to the root, but conflicting versions may need separate installs.
