## A secure TypeScript runtime built on V8
* Supports TypeScript 3.0 out of the box. Uses V8 7.0. That is, it's
very modern JavaScript.
* No `package.json`. No npm. Not explicitly compatible with Node.
* Imports reference source code URLs only.
```
import { test } from "https://unpkg.com/deno_testing@0.0.5/testing.ts"
import { log } from "./util.ts"
```
Remote code is fetched and cached on first execution, and never updated until
the code is run with the `--reload` flag. (So, this will still work on an
airplane. See `~/.deno/src` for details on the cache.)
* File system and network access can be controlled in order to run sandboxed
code. Defaults to read-only file system access and no network access.
Access between V8 (unprivileged) and Rust (privileged) is only done via
serialized messages defined in this
[flatbuffer](https://github.com/denoland/deno/blob/master/src/msg.fbs). This makes it
easy to audit.
To enable write access explicitly use `--allow-write` and `--allow-net` for
network access.
* Single executable:
```
> ls -lh out/release/deno
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rld staff 48M Aug 2 13:24 out/release/deno
> otool -L out/release/deno
out/release/deno:
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1252.50.4)
/usr/lib/libresolv.9.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 58286.51.6)
/usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 400.9.0)

```
* Always dies on uncaught errors.
* Supports top-level `await`.
* Aims to be browser compatible.
## Install
**With Python:**
```
curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denoland/deno_install/master/install.py | python
```
**With PowerShell:**
```powershell
iex (iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denoland/deno_install/master/install.ps1)
```
_Note: Depending on your security settings, you may have to run `Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser` first to allow downloaded scripts to be executed._
Try it:
```
> deno http://deno.land/thumb.ts
```

## Status
Under development.
We make binary releases [here](https://github.com/denoland/deno/releases).
Progress towards future releases is tracked
[here](https://github.com/denoland/deno/milestones).
Roadmap is [here](https://github.com/denoland/deno/blob/master/Roadmap.md).

## Build instructions
To ensure reproducible builds, Deno has most of its dependencies in a git
submodule. However, you need to install separately:
1. [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html)
2. [Node](http://nodejs.org/)
3. Python 2. [Not 3](https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/464#issuecomment-411795578).
4. [ccache](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/ccache) (Optional but helpful for speeding up rebuilds of V8.)
.
To build:
# Fetch deps.
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/denoland/deno.git
cd deno
./tools/setup.py
# Build.
./tools/build.py
# Run.
./out/debug/deno tests/002_hello.ts
# Test.
./tools/test.py
# Format code.
./tools/format.py
Other useful commands:
# Call ninja manually.
./third_party/depot_tools/ninja -C out/debug
# Build a release binary.
DENO_BUILD_MODE=release ./tools/build.py :deno
# List executable targets.
./third_party/depot_tools/gn ls out/debug //:* --as=output --type=executable
# List build configuation.
./third_party/depot_tools/gn args out/debug/ --list
# Edit build configuration.
./third_party/depot_tools/gn args out/debug/
# Describe a target.
./third_party/depot_tools/gn desc out/debug/ :deno
./third_party/depot_tools/gn help
Env vars: `DENO_BUILD_MODE`, `DENO_BUILD_PATH`, `DENO_BUILD_ARGS`.
