Hermes

The agent that grows with you — a cross-platform AI agent that installs with one command and bundles its own runtime.

Install

via Positronick CLI

$positronick harness install hermes --run

Official

$curl -fsSL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh | bash

Hermes is Nous Research's cross-platform AI agent that installs with a single command and bundles its own Python, Node.js, and tooling so it runs anywhere — Linux, macOS, native Windows, or Termux on Android. It is built around installable SOUL.md personalities and a skills system, gaining new capabilities as you add them. Reach for Hermes when you want a self-contained, always-available personal agent in your terminal rather than an IDE plugin or a hosted assistant.
