# Deepseek VS Code Extension
## v 1.0.0
This VS Code extension integrates with the Ollama API and utilizes the `deepseek-coder-v2` model for AI-powered development assistance. The extension is designed for developers to enhance their workflow with conversational AI within the VS Code environment.
## Features
- **Interactive Chatbot UI**: Provides a chatbot interface similar to ChatGPT for seamless communication with AI.
- **Model Selection**: You can choose from various models available through the Ollama API (currently using `deepseek-coder-v2`).
- **Background Operation**: The extension runs in the background using a terminal, allowing for uninterrupted development.

## Requirements
- **Node.js 22**: Ensure you have Node.js version 22 installed on your system.
- **Ollama & Model**: Make sure Ollama is installed and the model of your choice is available. The extension is currently set to use the `deepseek-coder-v2` model.
-
To install the required packages, run:
```bash
npm install
```
### Installing Ollama:
1. Visit the [Ollama website](https://ollama.com/) to download and install Ollama for your platform.
2. After installation, download the model using the [Deepseek-Coder-V2 page](https://ollama.com/library/deepseek-coder-v2).
3. Select the model parameter according to your hardware (I am using the 16B parameter).
### Running the Model:
Once you have installed Ollama and selected your model, run the model in your terminal with the following command:
```bash
ollama run deepseek-coder-v2
```
You shoud be able to chat with your model and you are good to go. Press `Cltr + d` to exit. But
make sure **Ollama** is running on background.
## Extension Setup
1. Ensure Ollama and the preferred model are installed and running on your system.
2. Launch the extension by opening the **Command Palette**:
- On Mac: Press `Cmd + Shift + P`
- On Windows/Linux: Press `Ctrl + Shift + P`
3. Select **Debug: Start Debugging**.
4. A new VS Code window will open. Again, open the **Command Palette** and type "Start Deepseek" to activate the extension.
## Build Extension Locally
You can build and run this extension locally by using these commands:
for build:
```bash
vsce package
```
for installing:
```bash
code --install-extension deepseek-1.0.0.vsix
```
(considering the name of extension **deepseek-1.0.0.vsix** while building)
make sure **vsce** and **code** are installed.
After successful installaton, you should be able to see Extension in your installed extension section in ***Extension Marketplace*** or while pressing `Cmd + Shift + P`.
## Known Issues
- If ollama is not running in the background, the extension may not function correctly. Ensure ollama is actively running before interacting with the chatbot UI.
## Release Notes
### 1.0.0
- Initial release of the deepseek VS Code extension with `deepseek-coder-v2` model integration.
