Install
Copy from your project's README (source: upstream). There is one install path.
open -a "DSH Desktop" --args --safe-mode
After installing, restart the DSH session. A plugin that is installed but does not load is almost always a profile mismatch — see nine causes of "plugin installed but not loading".
What it does
DSH Desktop by Dataelem is a desktop Agent application built by the Dataelem team on the DeepSeek Harness framework, available in open-source and enterprise editions.
Use official DeepSeek models or mainstream third-party providers, manage portable Agent presets, continue Harness sessions from your phone, and turn source material into editable PPTX decks.
Caveats before you install
- The upstream README is written in Chinese. The commands below are verbatim; the surrounding explanation on this page is ours.
- The command above was copied on 2026-10-25. If it fails, the README is the authority, not this page.
- This site does not execute plugin code. Install commands are reproduced, not tested.
