 ## Deploying to Deno
 
-You can deploy your application to Deno Deploy by connecting your GitHub repository or using the CLI:
+To deploy to Deno Deploy, it is recommended to build the Next.js application with "standalone" output. Once the standalone application is built, you can deploy your application to Deno Deploy by connecting your GitHub repository or using the CLI:
 
+1. Install `deployctl`:
 ```bash
-deno install -Arf jsr:@deno/deployctl --global
-deployctl deploy
+deno install -gArf jsr:@deno/deployctl
+```
+2. Move the statics not copied into the standalone output directory:
+```bash
+cp -r public .next/standalone/public
+# cp -r .next/static .next/standalone/.next/static
+# Deno needs the explicit .cjs extension to interpret the file as CommonJS
+mv .next/standalone/server.js .next/standalone/server.cjs
+```
+3. Deploy
+```bash
+deployctl deploy --include=.next/standalone .next/standalone/server.cjs
 ```
