Deno is Ryan Dahl’s (yeah, you guessed it right, the guy who created Node.js) latest venture.

But it isn’t just another JavaScript Engine. It also supports TypeScript — JavaScript’s strictly typed cousin — out of the box.

Installing Deno

On macOS, you can install Deno using Homebrew — the open-source software package manager for macOS:

brew install deno

Here’s a GIF to give you a better idea:

On Windows, Chocolately serves an alternative to macOS’s Homebrew:

choco install deno

On Linux, good ol’ curl will do the job:

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

Once Deno is installed, one can run the following command to see all the command-line options that are available:

deno --help

The output of the above command will look something like below:
