Hermes 101 · A living field guide

Our first day
with Hermes.

Install the assistant. Connect a model. Make something we can open ourselves.

Choose your operating system, then follow one of four guided tracks. Every lane ends with the same packing-checklist exercise.

A guide to keep learning with.

Keep your guide open beside your terminal. Each version includes copyable commands, checkpoints, troubleshooting, and official references. The instructions are editable so we can update them as Hermes changes.

Anthropic note: The guided route uses an API key. Subscription-login eligibility and billing need verification; the lane explains the published guidance.
