Getting started with Deno, Your first app Hello Deno.

Let’s install Deno.

Deno ships as a single executable with no dependencies. You can install it using the installers below, or download a release binary from the releases page.

Installing deno in Linux:

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

Set the path

export DENO_INSTALL="/home/user/.deno"
export PATH="$DENO_INSTALL/bin:$PATH"

Once its done lets verify the installation.

deno --version

and you should be able to get the deno version. Congratulations, deno is installed.

Now as a tradition we will start with Hello Deno project. Create a folder called hello-deno.

mkdir hello-deno
cd hello-deno 

Create a file index.js

touch index.js

Put the following content in the index.js

console.log('Hello Deno');

Now we can run our program from terminal.

deno run index.js

You should be able to get the following output

Hello Deno

Congrats. You have just completed your Hello World with Deno. We will create more real-life deno projects in the next article.
