deno_install provides convenience scripts to download and install the binary.
Using Shell (macOS and Linux):

Deno binaries can also be installed manually, by downloading a zip file at github.com/denoland/deno/releases. These packages contain just a single executable file. You will have to set the executable bit on macOS and Linux.
Testing your installation
To test your installation, run deno --version. If this prints the Deno version
to the console the installation was successful.
Use deno help to see help text documenting Deno's flags and usage. Get a
detailed guide on the CLI here.
Updating
To update a previously installed version of Deno, you can run:
deno upgrade
This will fetch the latest release from github.com/denoland/deno/releases, unzip it, and replace your current executable with it.
You can also use this utility to install a specific version of Deno:
deno upgrade --version 1.0.1
