Deno: Command 'deno' not found in ubuntu 18.04 ( a guide to solve this )

[nimahkh]

Thanks for your great job @ry .
i do installation like this :

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

when i run

deno hello.ts

i get command 'deno' not found error

im using ubuntu 18.04 .

as you say in shell script , we have to add

export PATH="/home/username/.deno/bin:$PATH"

after this , in new instance of terminal , again we have to add it again .

to solve this , please add this guide in installation ,

vim ~/.zshrc 
or
vim ~/.bashrc

after that command , please add this line end of file and save and exit

export PATH="/home/username/.deno/bin:$PATH"

thanks for your jobs :heart:

From manual:

Once it's installed and in your $PATH, try it:

$ deno https://deno.land/welcome.ts

From manual:

Once it's installed and in your $PATH, try it:

$ deno https://deno.land/welcome.ts

it will not do anything , cause i have zsh , so i need to set it inside of bashrc or zshrc , if you read my issue , you will see i give an opinion to others , and solved it .

thanks bro :heart:

The mandatory thing is to have it in your $PATH the way you do it is related to your usage, so describing all usages is not really revelant to add it in the documentation.

your right , i think somebody maybe need this to

Once we're integrated with package managers this will be less confusing for people. At the moment I don't think it requires any extra documentation.

I had this issue too in Ubuntu 18.04 but adding it to .bashrc fixed it although I still cannot use the command in the VS Code terminal, is there a fix for that?

Restart VS Code

After adding, execute this command.
. ~/.bashrc

[tinyweasel]

I restarted VS Code and sourced bashrc, and deno is on the PATH, still doesn't work.

Also, can be installed via

curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sudo DENO_INSTALL=/usr/local sh

[tinyweasel]

It's installed and it works in my main terminal, it only doesn't work in the VS Code terminal.

Hi,
As per nimahkh's recommendation above, everything is working propertly on Ubuntu 18.04. In the documentation is missing the bashrc part where you need to open "/home/username/.bashrc" (nano ~/.bashrc) file and export the path to deno executable:

export PATH="/home/username/.deno/bin:$PATH"

Once it is done, you can easily check if "deno" command has been recognized by typing:
deno -h

Zhi

Again, I have done that, it works in my main terminal, it only does not work in VS Code.

Restart VS Code after updating ./bashrc

[tinyweasel]

I did.

[zhitomir-oreshenski-mm]

I can confirm that with the bash terminal in VS Code is working properly. I've not tested it with others.

[tinyweasel]

Working in bash terminal for me too, just not the one in VS Code.

[ahrasel]

export PATH="/home/username/.deno/bin:$PATH"

but it's required always. when I open the terminal need to run this again. is there any permanent solution?

Restart VS Code after updating ./bashrc

it's working after adding export PATH="/home/username/.deno/bin:$PATH" this on .bashrc

[zhitomir-oreshenski-mm]

@ahrasel you have to only set the path in 'bashrc' file in order the terminal to recognize deno command. From there on deno executable can be run.
