Hermes Agent complete course, zero basic pedestal guide

Step one:Hermes Agent 到底是什么?

Hermes Agent 是一个Open Sourceof AI Agent(AI Agent),由 Nous Research 团队开发。它不像普通聊天机器人(比如 ChatGPT),它会:

  • 记住你过去的所有对话(长期记忆)
  • 从每次任务中自己学习,自动创建新“技能”
  • 帮你真正做事:执行命令、浏览网页、写文件、管理任务等
  • 支持连接 Telegram、飞书、Discord 等聊天软件,在手机上就能指挥它干活
  • 越用越聪明(自我进化)

它特别适合想拥有一个“私人 AI 助手”的人,很多人从 OpenClaw 迁移过来,因为它学习能力更强。

第二步:准备工作(电脑环境)

Hermes Agent 支持:

  • Linux(推荐,最简单)
  • macOS
  • Windows + WSL2(Windows 用户可以用这个)

你需要:

  1. 一台能上网的电脑(最好有终端)
  2. 一个 API Key(用来调用大模型,比如 Grok、Claude、GPT 等)推荐新手用 OpenRouter(支持 200+ 模型,免费额度多)或者用本地模型(Ollama),但新手先用云端 API 更稳

获取 API Key 的简单方法(以 OpenRouter 为例):

  • 去 https://openrouter.ai/注册账号
  • 充值一点钱(几美元就够用很久)
  • 在 dashboard 里复制你的 API Key(一串很长的字符)

第三步:安装 Hermes Agent(最简单的一键安装)

打开你的终端(命令行):

  • Mac/Linux:直接打开 Terminal
  • Windows:推荐安装 WSL2(搜索“Windows 安装 WSL”),然后在 Ubuntu 里操作;或者直接试 PowerShell(有些教程支持)

复制下面这条命令,一键安装(30 秒左右):

curl -fsSL  | bash

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

安装完后,刷新一下环境(很重要!):

source ~/.bashrc

# 如果你是 zsh 用户,用下面这行:

source ~/.zshrc

验证安装成功:输入

hermes --help

看到帮助信息就成功了🎉

第四步:首次配置(喂饭式向导)

输入下面命令,启动配置向导:

hermes setup

它会一步一步问你:

  • 选择模型提供商(Model Provider)
  • 输入你的 API Key
  • 选择默认模型(新手推荐:Claude Sonnet / GPT-4o  / 或者 OpenRouter 里的便宜好用模型)
  • 配置工具(tools)—— 默认开启常用工具就行

配置完后,你可以用下面命令随时改模型:

hermes model

第五步:开始聊天!(最简单的使用方式)

在终端输入:

hermes

然后就可以和你的 AI Agent 聊天了!

比如试试输入:

  • "Hello, introduce yourself."
  • Help me search for today's weather
  • "create a folder called test and write a hello.txt file"

It'll use tools to do your job, and it'll remember this conversation。

Step six: Put it on the phone. Connect Telegram or Flying Book)

So you can always direct it on the phone。

Take Telegram as an example (simple):

  1. Open Telegram, search
  2. send /newbot
  3. Name the robot and the user
  4. BotFather will give you a Bot Token, copy it

Enter at the terminal:

♪ hermes gateway ♪

Or set up Telegram Token with a configuration command。

Specific configurations can be entered:

here's your token

Launch gateway:

i'm sorry

Then search your robot in Telegram and start talking! It'll be 24/7 online。

Flying books have similar access to official documents and a lot of hands-on courses。

Step 7: Common commands

  • heremes poach into interactive chat
  • hermes setup one-stop configuration wizard
  • hermes model → switch model
  • hermes tools configuration available tools
  • set a single configuration for hermes config set KEY values
  • if you used to use OpenClaw, you could move data by one

Step 8: Common White Issues & Recommendations

Installation stuck

  • It'll be a lot of downloads for the first time

No. What about API Key

  • It's free of charge, or a local Ollama (but it needs a good computer)。

Think 24/7's been on line

A cheap VPS (Digital Ocean, Ariyun, telecommunication cloud 5-10/month) is offered for installation on VPS。
