How to unpack DeepSeek Harness as a portable build on Raspberry Pi 5 with DeepSeek Harness Linux

Extract the arm64 .tar.gz on a Raspberry Pi 5 and launch it from the unpacked folder.

Who it is forA hobbyist or home-lab owner with a Raspberry Pi 5 or ARM server who wants a local desktop client without a system install.

The problemOfficial desktop builds do not cover Linux on ARM, and many small ARM machines do not need a full package install.

The outcomeThe arm64 DeepSeek Harness desktop build runs from a folder that can be moved or deleted without touching system packages.

What you need first

  • A Linux machine on x64 or arm64, such as Ubuntu, Debian, Raspberry Pi 5, or an ARM server
  • Internet access to download packages from the repository's Releases page
  • sudo rights to install the .deb package or libfuse2
  • For building from source: Node.js 24+, pnpm, and libfuse2 on the build host

Steps

  1. 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 for your agent

For the repo Zhou-Yujing114514/deepseek-harness-linux, download the arm64 .tar.gz to <target-folder> 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.
