01What can it help you accomplish?
Install DeepSeek Harness and other mainstream coding CLIs on any machine from one desktop app
One-click install plus one-click model switching — EchoBird writes each tool's native config file, so no manual TOML / JSON editing or per-CLI re-login is needed
Developers and teams setting up AI coding tools (DeepSeek Harness, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code, …) on new or heterogeneous machines
Centralize model providers so every installed tool uses the same endpoint
Model Nexus — a unified data hub for OpenAI / Anthropic / local LLMs / API Routers; configure once, all scenarios pick it up, with a one-click latency check before you commit
Users juggling multiple API keys and providers across coding CLIs and desktop AI apps
Run local LLMs on your own machine without manual runtime setup
Bundled vLLM / SGLang / llama.cpp runtimes — pick a quant, hit START
Users who want local inference instead of paying for hosted LLM APIs
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- Windows, macOS or Linux (x64 + arm64) — EchoBird is a cross-platform Tauri + Rust desktop app
- PowerShell on Windows, or curl on macOS / Linux, if using the one-line installer
Installation steps
- 01
Windows (PowerShell): `irm https://echobird.ai/install.ps1 | iex`
- 02
macOS / Linux: `curl -fsSL https://echobird.ai/install.sh | sh` — the script auto-detects your OS and downloads the right package
$ curl -fsSL https://echobird.ai/install.sh | sh
- 03
Or download a package from the latest release: `EchoBird_<ver>_Windows_x64-setup.exe`, `EchoBird_<ver>_macOS_arm64.dmg`, or `.deb` / `.rpm` for Linux x64 + arm64

03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Desktop hub (Tauri + Rust) that one-click installs DeepSeek Harness and switches its model by rewriting the tool's native config file — a companion tool for dsh, not installed inside dsh itself
One-click install + one-click model switch for coding CLIs

chat requests / installed AI apps and games→AI-driven install and repair of mainstream tools (locally and remotely); one-click launch and management for every AI / Agent app & game
Installs and modifies third-party tools on the machine (works locally and remotely)
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- Developers and teams setting up AI coding tools (DeepSeek Harness, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code, …) on new or heterogeneous machines
- Users juggling multiple API keys and providers across coding CLIs and desktop AI apps
- Users who want local inference instead of paying for hosted LLM APIs
Not for
- EchoBird switches models by rewriting each tool's native config file (e.g. `~/.grok/config.toml`) — manual edits you made to those files may be overwritten when you switch models.
- The one-line installer pipes a remote script into the shell (`irm … | iex` / `curl … | sh`), which downloads and executes code from echobird.ai — review the script first, or download the release packages instead.
05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes
- EchoBird switches models by rewriting each tool's native config file (e.g. `~/.grok/config.toml`) — manual edits you made to those files may be overwritten when you switch models.
- The one-line installer pipes a remote script into the shell (`irm … | iex` / `curl … | sh`), which downloads and executes code from echobird.ai — review the script first, or download the release packages instead.
- Linux packages ship only as .deb (Debian/Ubuntu) and .rpm (Fedora/RHEL) for x64 + arm64; other Linux distributions have no prebuilt package listed and Windows is x64-only.

06Frequently asked questions
How does EchoBird work with DeepSeek Harness?
DeepSeek Harness is one of EchoBird's supported coding CLIs — the README demo shows one-click install plus model switching for DeepSeek Harness. EchoBird bundles the install references and writes the tool's native config file, so you install from one place with no manual config editing.
How does the one-click model switch work?
Configure a provider once in Model Nexus (OpenAI / Anthropic / local LLM / API router), then point any supported tool at it — EchoBird rewrites the tool's native config file for you, so there's no manual TOML / JSON editing and no per-CLI re-login.
Which platforms are supported, and how do I install EchoBird?
Windows, macOS and Linux (x64 + arm64). Use the one-line installer — `irm https://echobird.ai/install.ps1 | iex` in Windows PowerShell, or `curl -fsSL https://echobird.ai/install.sh | sh` on macOS / Linux — or download .exe / .dmg / .deb / .rpm packages from GitHub Releases.
Can I use local models instead of paid APIs?
Yes — EchoBird bundles vLLM / SGLang / llama.cpp runtimes; pick a quant and hit START. Local LLMs show up in Model Nexus alongside cloud providers, and every supported tool can be pointed at them.
What is the license?
EchoBird v5.0.0 and later are MIT-licensed; v4.x and earlier remain AGPL-3.0-or-later. Forks are welcome with NOTICE attribution — the EchoBird name and UI trade dress have limits for commercial rebrands (see TRADEMARKS.md).
