# AI use cases for DeepSeek Harness Linux (Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux) Repo: [Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux](https://github.com/Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux) | Use cases: 4 | Page: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/zhou-yujing114514-deepseek-harness-linux/ A community fork that packages the DeepSeek Harness desktop app for Linux as AppImage, .deb, and .tar.gz files for x64 and arm64. This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL. - Install DeepSeek Harness desktop on Ubuntu from .deb: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/zhou-yujing114514-deepseek-harness-linux/install-deepseek-desktop-deb-on-ubuntu/ - Run DeepSeek Harness from an AppImage that updates itself: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/zhou-yujing114514-deepseek-harness-linux/run-deepseek-appimage-with-auto-updates/ - Unpack DeepSeek Harness as a portable build on Raspberry Pi 5: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/zhou-yujing114514-deepseek-harness-linux/portable-deepseek-harness-on-raspberry-pi-5/ - Build the Linux desktop packages yourself from source: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/zhou-yujing114514-deepseek-harness-linux/build-linux-desktop-packages-from-source/ ## How to install DeepSeek Harness desktop on Ubuntu from .deb with DeepSeek Harness Linux Repo: [Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux](https://github.com/Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README Install the Linux desktop client with dpkg and launch it from the app menu or terminal. **Who it is for:** An Ubuntu or Debian user who wants DeepSeek Harness as a normal system package, because the official desktop app has no Linux build. **The problem:** The official DeepSeek Harness desktop app ships only for macOS and Windows, so Linux users have to use the web version or compile from source. **The outcome:** The DeepSeek Harness desktop app is installed through the system package manager and starts from the application menu or the terminal. ### Steps 1. Open the repository's Releases page and download the .deb file that matches your architecture, for example the x64 build. 2. In a terminal, change to the folder that holds the downloaded file. 3. Run `sudo dpkg -i deepseek-harness-*-linux-x64.deb` to install the package. 4. Run `deepseek-harness` in the terminal, or open DeepSeek Harness from the application menu. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text For the repo Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux, download the x64 .deb from its Releases page to and install it with `sudo dpkg -i deepseek-harness-*-linux-x64.deb`. Report whether the install finished without errors and whether `deepseek-harness` starts a desktop window. Verify by checking that the exit status of the install command is 0. ``` ### Caveat The Linux build is unsigned and community-maintained, and LibreOffice-based Office document conversion is not available on Linux yet. Risk, remote script: The .deb is unsigned, so only install it from this repository's Releases and check the SHA256 checksum published with it before running dpkg.

Download the .AppImage for your architecture from the repository's Releases page. 2. Install the runtime dependency on Debian or Ubuntu with `sudo apt install libfuse2`. On Fedora or RHEL, use `sudo dnf install fuse2`. 3. Make the file executable with `chmod +x deepseek-harness-*-linux-x64.AppImage`. 4. Start the app with `./deepseek-harness-*-linux-x64.AppImage`. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text For the repo Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux, download the x64 .AppImage into , make it executable, and start it with `./deepseek-harness-*-linux-x64.AppImage`. Report whether the app window opens and which SHA256 checksum you compared against the one on the Releases page. Verify the checksum matches before you run the file. ``` ### Caveat The AppImage needs FUSE 2 (libfuse2) installed, and the build is unsigned, so the update check does not verify code signatures. Risk, remote script: The auto-update channel checks only HTTPS transport and feed metadata, with no code signature verification, so verify the SHA256 checksum for every download.

Download the arm64 .tar.gz file from the repository's Releases page. 2. Extract it with `tar -xzf deepseek-harness-*-linux-arm64.tar.gz`. (inferred, check the README) 3. Change into the extracted folder with `cd deepseek-harness-*-linux-arm64`. (inferred, check the README) 4. Start the app with `./deepseek-harness`. If you run it over VNC without a display, set DISPLAY first, for example to :1. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text For the repo Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux, download the arm64 .tar.gz to on a Raspberry Pi 5, extract it with `tar -xzf deepseek-harness-*-linux-arm64.tar.gz`, and start `./deepseek-harness` from the extracted folder. Report whether the desktop window opens and the value of DISPLAY used. Verify that the process is still running after 10 seconds. ``` ### Caveat The README gives the DISPLAY example for xfce4 with TigerVNC only, so other remote display setups may need their own display value.

Clone the repository with `git clone https://github.com/Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux.git` and change into it with `cd deepseek-harness-linux`. 2. Install dependencies with `pnpm install`. 3. Copy the example settings with `cp apps/desktop/.env.linux.example apps/desktop/.env.linux` and fill in the release settings you need. 4. Build the x64 package with `pnpm --dir apps/desktop run package:linux:x64`, or the arm64 package with `pnpm --dir apps/desktop run package:linux:arm64`. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text For the repo Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux, clone it into , run `pnpm install`, and build with `pnpm --dir apps/desktop run package:linux:x64`. Report which package files were created under the build output and their names. Verify that the build exits with status 0 and that the files include the .AppImage, .deb, and .tar.gz types. ``` ### Caveat The build needs Node.js 24+ and libfuse2 on the host, and the README does not say where the output files are written, so check the build log for the output path.
