DS Bot · DeepSeek Harness

Steps

1. Download package

   Open Releases (https://github.com/Fei2411/DS-Bot/releases) and download the desktop package for your OS: Windows `DeepSeek-Bot-<version>-win-x64.exe`; macOS Apple silicon `…-mac-arm64.zip` / Intel `…-mac-x64.zip`; Linux `…-linux-x86_64.AppImage` or, on Debian/Ubuntu, `…-linux-amd64.deb`. Use the version shown on Releases at download time (latest observed at fetch: v0.2.4).

2. Install & launch

   Install and launch per the README: on Windows, if SmartScreen appears choose More info → Run anyway (per-user install, no admin); on macOS drag into Applications and, if needed, System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway; on Linux make the AppImage executable and install FUSE 2 first (Ubuntu 24.04+ can also use the deb to avoid sandbox blocks). The desktop app bundles DSH — you do not need to install DSH first.

3. First-run setup

   On first launch choose where data and Bot files live; optionally copy a Bot team from an existing DSH (read-only); configure at least one model in app settings (DS Bot uses those models; the README does not name a specific model id — do not invent tags).

4. Talk to Chief

   Open the default main bot Chief and talk to it so it walks you through creating other bots and group chats (when in doubt, ask the main bot). This case’s primary path is desktop + Chief; DSH plugin / source / Docker are separate README sections or sibling cases — do not treat this as an npx-only install.

   Setup guidance · Source text。Give to a setup assistant; not a node execution prompt.

   Copy prompt

   I strongly recommend that you set up your other bots and group chats by just talking to a bot.
   
   ### Main bot
   
   The main bot is your chief. It has very high rights: it manages the other bots and the group chats. The first time you open DS Bot, there is already a main bot called Chief. Talk to it, and it walks you through the setup.
   
   In short: have a question? Ask the main bot.

This case is desktop install + Chief setup guidance. The official README has no pasteable end-user task prompt. Follow the steps below to install from Releases, configure a model on first launch, then talk to Chief; copyable official setup wording is in the step prompt blocks.
