2026 Guide: Full Workflow to Integrate DeepSeek-V4 with Claude Code on Kylin OS V10 SP1 Desktop + VSCode

As of August 2026, this tutorial provides a complete workflow to integrate Claude Code (Anthropic’s AI coding assistant) with DeepSeek-V4 on Kylin OS V10 SP1 desktop systems (validated for 2203 and 2303 versions). A key benefit here is DeepSeek’s Anthropic-compatible API, which allows users to access DeepSeek models without an official Anthropic account—perfect for domestic Chinese network environments. Kylin OS V10 SP1 is Debian-based, so installation steps for Node.js and Claude Code align closely with Ubuntu.

First, confirm your system’s CPU architecture: open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run uname -m. For Intel/AMD (x86_64), use the x64 Node.js version; for domestic CPUs like Phytium FT-D2000 or Kunpeng 920 (aarch64), choose arm64. Verify the package manager with which dpkg && echo "Debian-based" and which apt && echo "Using apt"—Kylin OS V10 SP1 should return both.

Claude Code requires Node.js 18+ (Kylin’s default is 10.x or lower). Install dependencies: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y wget xz-utils (contact admin if sudo is unavailable). Download Node.js from npmmirror: x86_64 users run cd ~ && wget https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node/v22.14.0/node-v22.14.0-linux-x64.tar.xz; aarch64 users use the arm64 variant. Extract and move: tar -xJf node-v22.14.0-linux-x64.tar.xz && mv node-v22.14.0-linux-x64 ~/node. Add to PATH: echo 'export PATH=$HOME/node/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc. Verify with node -v (v22.14.0) and npm -v (10.9.0).

Speed up npm downloads with npmmirror: npm config set registry https://registry.npmmirror.com. Install Claude Code CLI: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code (verify with claude --version → 2.1.229).

Install VSCode via Kylin App Store (recommended: search "Visual Studio Code" and install) or manual deb: download from https://code.visualstudio.com/ and run sudo apt install -y ./code_latest_amd64.deb.

Launch VSCode (not root), open Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X), search "Claude Code" (official Anthropic plugin with blue logo), install, then restart—look for the Claude icon in the left bar.

Get DeepSeek API Key: visit https://platform.deepseek.com, register/login (phone/email), complete real-name authentication, then create an API key in the left menu’s "API Keys" section.
