Windows Install

DeepSeek TUI on Windows usually works best when you match the install path to your shell and terminal setup

Windows users often do not have the same terminal defaults as macOS and Linux users, so the best install route depends on whether your current workflow already lives in Node, Rust, WSL, or a mixed shell setup.

Why Windows feels different

Windows install questions usually come from shell expectations, PATH behavior, and terminal differences rather than DeepSeek TUI itself.

What to verify first

Which shell are you actually using: PowerShell, Command Prompt, Git Bash, or WSL?
Do you already manage CLI tools through Node or Rust?
Will your install path stay visible after a shell restart?
