The main steps for installing and configuring the Gen CLI are as follows:
- environmental preparation: First you need to install Node.js 20 or higher, either through the official download or the package manager.
- Get source code: Clone the contents of a GitHub repository using the git clone command
- Installation of dependencies: Go to the project directory and run npm install to install the required dependencies.
- API Key Configuration: Get the API key from the DeepSeek website and set it as an environment variable or configuration file
- start up a run: You can start the command line interface with npm start, or add the -ui parameter to enable Web UI mode.
In particular, it is important to note that using the DeepSeek model requires ensuring that:
- Valid DeepSeek API Keys
- Stable network connection
- Correct environment variable configuration (set differently depending on the operating system)
