Hermes Agent starter site
Learn Hermes fast, then ship with confidence.
Hermes 101 turns the first install, the first week, and the first OpenClaw to Hermes migration into one English Hermes Agent setup guide for working builders.
English-first copy for search and onboarding
Static export friendly for simple hosting
Community guide that stays separate from the official docs
Install Hermes without drift
Use one clear setup path for macOS, Linux, WSL2, or Termux and verify the CLI before you move on.
Open sectionFollow a seven-day route
Turn the first week into a sequence of concrete wins: provider setup, tool use, channels, backups, and debug habits.
Open sectionMove over from OpenClaw
Prepare the migration, run the command, check what moved, and validate the new Hermes setup with less guesswork.
Open sectionWhy start here
A calmer route through the first hard parts of Hermes.
The reference project already proved the structure. This version keeps the same practical scope, rewrites the copy in English, and trims the Hermes tutorial into a static site that is easy to host and easy to scan.
Week 1
Build operating rhythm
Learn the core Hermes loop: setup, model auth, tools, channels, memory, backups, and debugging.
After that
Migrate and expand
Bring over OpenClaw state, harden your workflow, and use Hermes as the practical default.
What the site covers
Install, learn, migrate, and keep enough context to stay productive.
OS-specific install steps with command verification
A seven-day practice arc instead of a long unstructured checklist
Migration prep, command blocks, post-flight checks, and FAQ coverage
Ready to begin
Start at setup, then keep the momentum moving.
This site is meant to be walked in order. If you already know Hermes, jump straight to the migration or FAQ sections. If not, the setup page is the shortest path to a working environment.
