Current behavior 😯

Running deno run build after deno init --npm solid@latest produces the following output:

Task build vinxi build
vinxi v0.5.10


⚙  Building your app...
dax: node: command not found
Error building router ssr: Error: Exited with code: 127
    at CommandChild.pipedStdoutBuffer (file:///home/evan/Code/socal-solid/node_modules/.deno/dax-sh@0.43.2/node_modules/dax-sh/esm/mod.js:8476:19)
    at eventLoopTick (ext:core/01_core.js:187:7)

Updating my app.config.ts like so does not fix anything either:

import { defineConfig } from "@solidjs/start/config";
import tailwindcss from "@tailwindcss/vite";

export default defineConfig({
	ssr: true, // false for client-side rendering only
	server: {
		preset: "deno_server",
		compatibilityDate: "2025-01-30",
	},
	vite: { plugins: [tailwindcss()] },
});

Expected behavior 🤔

Running with Deno works fine, so I'd expect building with Deno to work without error.

Steps to reproduce 🕹

Steps, with Deno installed (I'm using 2.6.4):

1. deno init --npm solid@latest
2. deno run build

Context 🔦

Just trying to test out Solid Start :)

Your environment 🌎

Fedora Linux 43
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X (12) @ 4.41 GHz
Deno: 2.6.4 installed via Mise 2026.1.1

vinxi doesn't support deno. I suggest report there as well.

This could be fixed by the new alpha as that no longer uses vinxi
