Install
Recommended — npm (one command, both binaries)
npm install -g deepseek-tuiThe wrapper downloads both binaries from this Release and places them in the same directory.
Docker / GHCR
docker run --rm -it \
-e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="$DEEPSEEK_API_KEY" \
-v ~/.deepseek:/home/deepseek/.deepseek \
ghcr.io/hmbown/deepseek-tui:v0.8.19The image ships the deepseek dispatcher and deepseek-tui runtime. The latest tag is also updated on release.
Cargo (Linux / macOS)
cargo install deepseek-tui-cli deepseek-tui --lockedBoth 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/):
| Platform | Dispatcher | TUI runtime |
|---|---|---|
| Linux x64 | deepseek-linux-x64
| deepseek-tui-linux-x64
|
| Linux ARM64 | deepseek-linux-arm64
| deepseek-tui-linux-arm64
|
| macOS x64 | deepseek-macos-x64
| deepseek-tui-macos-x64
|
| macOS ARM | deepseek-macos-arm64
| deepseek-tui-macos-arm64
|
| Windows x64 | deepseek-windows-x64.exe
| deepseek-tui-windows-x64.exe
|
Then chmod +x both (Unix) and run ./deepseek.
