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 APIs or official cloud compute for AI capabilities. Core data remains local-first; account sign-in, credits/subscriptions, cloud model lists, and update services require access to DesireCore online services. You can still use most core workflows with your own API keys and local data.
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.
