FOCUS AREA

Install Hermes Agent

Start with the official install command, run setup, and confirm Hermes is working before adding integrations.

HOW I THINK ABOUT IT

The useful frame is usually context, constraints, system design, and what the next practical move should be.

This is the first step. Get Hermes Agent installed and working locally before you spend time on advanced integrations.

Official links

Install

Use Linux, macOS, or WSL. Open a terminal and run:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

First checks

hermes setup
hermes doctor
hermes

If hermes doctor reports missing configuration, fix that before moving on. A clean base install saves time later.
