DeepSeek TUI Files

Install

Recommended — npm (one command, both binaries)

:::bash
npm install -g deepseek-tui

The wrapper downloads both binaries from this Release and places them in the same directory.

Docker / GHCR

:::bash
docker run --rm -it \
  -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="$DEEPSEEK_API_KEY" \
  -v ~/.deepseek:/home/deepseek/.deepseek \
  ghcr.io/hmbown/deepseek-tui:v0.8.21

The image ships the deepseek dispatcher and deepseek-tui runtime. The latest tag is also updated on release.

Cargo (Linux / macOS)

:::bash
cargo install deepseek-tui-cli deepseek-tui --locked

Both crates are required — deepseek-tui-cli produces the deepseek dispatcher and deepseek-tui produces the interactive runtime that the dispatcher delegates to. Installing only one binary will fail at runtime with a MISSING_COMPANION_BINARY error.

Manual download

Both binaries below must be downloaded for your platform and dropped into the same directory (e.g. ~/.local/bin/):

Then chmod +x both (Unix) and run ./deepseek.

Verify (recommended)

Download deepseek-artifacts-sha256.txt from this Release and verify:

:::bash
# Linux
sha256sum -c deepseek-artifacts-sha256.txt

# macOS
shasum -a 256 -c deepseek-artifacts-sha256.txt
