DeepSeek TUI
npm i -g deepseek-tui
A coding agent for DeepSeek models that runs in your terminal.
Quickstart
npm install -g deepseek-tui
Start the TUI:
deepseek-tui
On first launch, it will prompt for your API key if one is not already configured.
You can also set auth ahead of time with either of these:
deepseek-tui login
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="YOUR_DEEPSEEK_API_KEY" deepseek-tui
Other install methods
# From crates.io (requires Rust 1.85+)
cargo install deepseek-tui --locked # TUI
cargo install deepseek-tui-cli --locked # deepseek CLI facade
# From source
git clone https://github.com/Hmbown/DeepSeek-TUI.git
cd DeepSeek-TUI
cargo install --path crates/tui --locked
The canonical crates.io packages for this repository are deepseek-tui and
deepseek-tui-cli. The unrelated deepseek-cli crate is not part of this
project. crates.io publication can lag the repository workspace version and the
npm wrapper, so use npm or install from source if you need the newest release
surface immediately.
