DeepSeek Harness Desktop

Download and install

In a terminal, run:

npx deepseek-harness-desktop

This first checks for Node.js 18+. If Node is missing or too old, download a local LTS copy (it does not replace your system Node) and start the app:

# macOS / Linux
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hzhe0083-source/deepseek-harness-desktop/main/setup.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hzhe0083-source/deepseek-harness-desktop/main/setup.ps1 | iex

npx then downloads and starts the latest desktop app, and registers a system app icon so you can open it from the application menu later:

• macOS: mounts the dmg and launches it (add --install to copy it into Applications)
• Linux: downloads the AppImage, writes an Ubuntu application-menu icon, and launches it; extracts automatically if libfuse2 is missing
• Windows: runs the portable build (no installer)

The npm package is only a few KB. The real app is downloaded from GitHub Releases and cached locally. Run the same command again to check for updates.
