Windows: Run PowerShell as Administrator

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.ps1

Note: If an error occurs, you need to install the latest version of PowerShell first.

If it still fails, you can download the script first:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.ps1" -OutFile "install.ps1"

Then run:

.\install.ps1

Linux/macOS/WSL2: Run the following command in the terminal

After running the command, the required dependencies will be automatically detected and installed.

Configure Hermes Agent

After installation is complete, open another command line window and run:

In the provider list, select 37 (custom - direct API) to use a custom OpenAI-compatible API. Enter the URL and API key (the input will be hidden).

Select the model in step 1, set the context length in step 2, and define a custom provider name in step 3. If you encounter Telegram/Discord and similar configuration options, choose 2 (skip) to skip them.

Once the configuration is complete, go back to the command line and use the hermes command to start chatting and using it.
