DeepSeek-R1 Quick Deploy on Jetson

Hardware required: Jetson with >8GB RAM, JetPack 5.1.1+. This is the fastest path to running DeepSeek-R1 locally. For optimized MLC-based deployment with better throughput, see the deploy-deepseek-mlc skill instead.

Execution model

Run one phase at a time. After each phase:

  • Relay all command output to the user.
  • If output contains [STOP] → stop immediately, consult the failure decision tree below.
  • If output ends with [OK] → tell the user "Phase N complete" and proceed to the next phase.

Prerequisites

RequirementDetail
RAM>8 GB (unified memory)
JetPack5.1.1 or later
InternetRequired for install script and model download
Disk space≥10 GB free for model weights

Phase 1 — Install Ollama

bash
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

Verify:

bash
ollama --version
# Expected: ollama version x.x.x

[OK] when ollama --version prints a version string. [STOP] if the install script fails — see failure decision tree.


Phase 2 — Run DeepSeek-R1

bash
ollama run deepseek-r1

The first run downloads the model weights (~4–8 GB depending on quantization). Subsequent runs start immediately from cache.

Expected: after download, an interactive prompt appears:

>>> Send a message (/? for help)

Test with a simple prompt to confirm the model responds. Type /bye to exit.

[OK] when the model responds to a prompt. [STOP] if the process is killed or hangs — see failure decision tree.


Failure decision tree

SymptomAction
curl install script fails with network errorCheck internet connectivity. If behind a proxy, set https_proxy env var before running curl. Try downloading the script manually and inspecting it.
curl install script fails with permission errorRun with sudo or ensure /usr/local/bin is writable.
Model download stalls or fails mid-wayRetry ollama run deepseek-r1 — Ollama resumes partial downloads. Check available disk space: df -h.
Process killed during model pull (OOM)Not enough RAM. Free memory by stopping other processes, or use a smaller quantization: ollama run deepseek-r1:1.5b.
Model loads but inference is very slowExpected on smaller Jetson modules. For better performance use the deploy-deepseek-mlc skill which uses MLC-optimized kernels.
ollama: command not found after installAdd Ollama to PATH: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin, then reload shell or open a new terminal.
