Who it is forA developer or maintainer who needs to produce DSHCode installers for their own team or a fork.
The problemDistributing the desktop app to others requires building installers for each platform with a repeatable process.
The outcomeInstaller files written to the release folder, ready to share or test.
What you need first
- A DeepSeek API key from the official API
- macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel) or Windows x64
- For source builds only: git, pnpm, and Node.js
Steps
- Clone the repository with
git clone https://github.com/whitelonng/dshcode.gitand change into the Dshcode folder. - Install dependencies with
pnpm install. - Build the desktop installer with
pnpm run desktop:dist. - Find the output in .artifacts/desktop/release/ and check the SHA-256 checksums if you publish them.
- Read apps/desktop/README.md for platform targets and current limitations before distributing the build.
Prompt for your agent
In a clone of https://github.com/whitelonng/dshcode, run pnpm install and pnpm run desktop:dist, then list the files in .artifacts/desktop/release/. Report each file name and confirm that a checksum file is present or explain why it is not.
Caveat. The README states that preview installers are not code signed or notarized, so any build you distribute will trigger OS security warnings unless you add signing yourself.
