How to Install Deno on Ubuntu

Question

The command I run is:

curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sh

The output is:

######################################################################## 100.0%
Archive:  /root/.deno/bin/deno.zip
  inflating: deno
Deno was installed successfully to /root/.deno/bin/deno
Manually add the directory to your $HOME/.bash_profile (or similar)
  export DENO_INSTALL="/root/.deno"
  export PATH="$DENO_INSTALL/bin:$PATH"
Run '/root/.deno/bin/deno --help' to get started

After this, I run deno in the terminal and it gives me an error.

Can anyone explain how to install Deno in Ubuntu properly?

Answer 1

Installing Deno by running the following command from it's official website

curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sh

After installing it update .bashrc file in your profile directory:

sudo nano ~/.bashrc

then add these two lines in the file

 export DENO_INSTALL="/$HOME/.deno"
 export PATH="$DENO_INSTALL/bin:$PATH"

you can get this two lines from the message you get after installing deno after

finally run the following command source ~/.bashrc

after that run deno by typing this command in terminal deno
