Steps to automatically deploy DeepSeek-TUI on Lighthouse

1. First create a Lighthouse instance and select the 【DeepSeek-TUI】 image template. After the instance is created, click the “Log in” button in the console, use the browser-based remote desktop provided by Tencent Cloud or one-click SSH, then perform several steps in the command-line window:

2. Run DeepSeek TUI. After logging in, execute the following command in the command line to launch DeepSeek TUI:

deepseek-tui

3. Press 4 and select English.

4. Configure the DeepSeek API KEY. Go to the DeepSeek official website, register and top up, then create an API KEY; (portal: https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys) paste the API KEY into the terminal window.

5. Continue to the next step, choose to trust the directory, and then you can enter the TUI interface.

A few quick-start actions after entering:

• Plan Mode: Press Tab to switch to Plan Mode, then enter your question. The system will first analyze the project and generate a draft plan and task list, but it will not modify any code;
• Agent Mode: Switch back to Agent Mode and hand the task over to it, allowing the AI to actually start working (for example, ask it to “help me create a complete unit test file in this project”). Each key operation will pause and wait for your confirmation;
• YOLO Mode: In a highly trusted environment, switch to YOLO Mode with one click and let it run fully automatically to the end;
• Quick Exit: Enter /quit or press Ctrl + C to exit safely.
