How to install Hermes Agent and switch models without code with Hermes Agent

Run the installer, start the terminal chat, and change provider or model with one command.

Short answer: Install on macOS, Linux or WSL2 with curl -fsSL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh | bash; then Reload your shell, then start chatting with hermes; choose your LLM provider and model with hermes model. All steps.

Remote script. The installer is a script fetched from the internet; read it first if you are cautious.

Who it is forA developer who wants a capable terminal agent without being locked to one model vendor.

The problemMost agent CLIs tie you to one provider, and switching means new tools and new config.

The outcomeHermes running in your terminal with the provider and model you chose, and a setup you can change any time.

What you need first

  • macOS, Linux, WSL2 or Windows
  • An account or API key for a model provider (Nous Portal, OpenRouter, OpenAI or a custom endpoint)
  • Optional: bot tokens for the messaging apps you connect

  1. Install on macOS, Linux or WSL2 with curl -fsSL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh | bash
  2. Reload your shell, then start chatting with hermes
  3. Choose your LLM provider and model with hermes model
  4. Turn tools on or off with hermes tools, or run the whole wizard with hermes setup
  5. If something breaks, run hermes doctor

Prompt for your agent

Install NousResearch/hermes-agent with the official installer, set the model to <provider/model> with hermes model, run hermes doctor, and summarise which tools are enabled by default.
