Visual Studio Code Setup

1. Create a project directory, Let's say hello-deno is the name of the directory/folder.
2. Now create a index.ts file and .vscode directory, in the root directory.
3. Install the Deno extension for vscode. Which is created by axetroy.
4. Create a settings.json in .vscode directory.
5. add { "deno.enable": true, } in settings.json file.
6. console.log("Hello Universe...") in the index.ts file.
7. On your terminal go to the project directory and run deno run index.ts

Note: Deno can compile both JavaScript and TypeScript. So, your file extension also can be .js

These instructions are for the deprecated Deno extension from axetroy, not for the official VSCode extension from denoland.
