:::info Legacy Documentation

You are viewing legacy documentation for Deno Deploy Classic. We recommend migrating to the new <a href="/deploy/">Deno Deploy</a> platform.

:::

For local development you can use the deno CLI. To install deno, follow the instructions in the Deno manual.

After installation, you can run your scripts locally:

$ deno run --allow-net=:8000 https://deno.com/examples/hello.js
Listening on http://localhost:8000

To watch for file changes add the --watch flag:

$ deno run --allow-net=:8000 --watch ./main.js
Listening on http://localhost:8000

For more information about the Deno CLI, and how to configure your development environment and IDE, visit the Deno Manual's Getting Started section.
