Deno 2.6, the latest version of the TypeScript, JavaScript, and WebAssembly runtime, adds a tool, called dx, to run binaries from NPM and JSR (JavaScript Registry) packages.
The update to the Node.js rival was announced December 10; installation instructions can be found at docs.deno.com. Current users can upgrade by running the deno upgrade command in their terminal.
In Deno 2.6, dx is an equivalent to the npx command. With dx, users should find it easier to run package binaries in a familiar fashion, according to Deno producer Deno Land. Developers can enjoy the convenience of npxwhile leveraging Deno’s robust security model and performance optimizations, Deno Land said.
