Hmbown/DeepSeek-TUI v0.8.35 on GitHub

Highlights

Cleaner TUI sidebar behavior: active checklist work stays visible in short layouts, completed live-tool rows age out, and shell helper tasks are labeled with readable names instead of internal task IDs.
Broader settings coverage: /config, schema-driven settings UI, /set, and single-setting display now cover the available setting surface, including animation, paste, vim-mode, synchronized output, context panel, currency, and PDF extraction toggles.
Leaner prompt/context hygiene: first-turn project context avoids hidden tool/cache state, /context shows named prompt layers, and compaction guidance now separates the 60% manual suggestion from the 80% automatic guardrail.
Stronger release hygiene: version checks now catch changelog/package drift and README contributor-credit drift before release.
Contributor credit correction: Horace Liu (@liuhq) is now credited for Nix package support and install documentation contributed during the v0.8.34 cycle.

Install

Recommended: npm (one command, both binaries)

npm install -g deepseek-tui

The 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:v0.8.35

The 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 --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

Download both binaries for your platform and put them in the same directory, such as ~/.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`

On Unix platforms, run chmod +x on both downloaded binaries before launching ./deepseek.
