Network Requirements
DesireCore requires an internet connection to access AI services. Ensure your network environment meets the following conditions:
- Access to AI provider APIs: e.g., OpenAI (
api.openai.com), Anthropic (api.anthropic.com), DeepSeek (api.deepseek.com), etc. - Access to DesireCore's update server: e.g.,
download.desirecore.net, for receiving the latest versions and security patches - Access to GitHub: If you need to fetch marketplace Agents, Skills, or other resources from GitHub, ensure access to
github.comand related CDN services. The system will automatically detect network conditions and provide fallback options when certain services are unavailable (e.g., using a secure CDN to access whitelisted repositories).
Note: DesireCore does not include built-in AI models — it connects to third-party services via API to provide AI capabilities. As of the current version (v10.1.0), DesireCore remains a pure client-side application with no server components; the official team does not provide a backend API, and update services rely on object storage and CDN. Therefore, no server deployment is needed — as long as you can access the APIs listed above, everything will work.
If you have difficulty accessing overseas services, consider using providers with servers in your region for lower latency.
Once your environment meets the requirements, you can proceed to Install DesireCore.
