💰

Gak punya budget buat VPS? Install Hermes gratis di HP Android pake Termux - tested path resmi dari tim Hermes. Detail lengkap di section bawah.

04

📱 Termux (Android) - Gratis, Tanpa VPS

Tested path resmi dari dokumentasi Hermes. Hermes bisa jalan langsung di HP Android lewat Termux - terminal emulator Linux di Android. Gak butuh root, gak butuh VPS, gak butuh laptop nyala terus.

Yang Didukung (Tested Path)

Hermes CLI
Core agent jalan normal di Android
Cron Support
Scheduled task jalan di background
📱
Telegram Gateway
Best-effort, manual background runs
🔌
MCP / ACP / Honcho
Protocol + memory support
📜
PTY Terminal
Background + interactive shell
💾
File + Code Ops
Read/write, grep, semua text tools

Belum didukung di Termux: Docker backend, voice transcription (faster-whisper butuh ctranslate2 yang gak ada Android wheels), browser automation. Buat test/dev harian cukup. Buat production 24/7 real, VPS lebih oke.

Cara Install - Option 1: One-line (Cepet)

Buka Termux di HP, paste:

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

Installer auto-detect Termux dan install bundle yang kompatibel. Recommended untuk pemula.

Cara Install - Option 2: Manual Step-by-step

Kalau one-line gagal atau mau kontrol penuh.

Step 1: Update Termux + Install Packages

bash
pkg update && pkg upgrade -y
pkg install python git build-essential

Step 2: Clone Repo Hermes

bash
git clone https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent.git
cd hermes-agent

Step 3: Create Virtual Environment

bash
export ANDROID_API_LEVEL="$(getprop ro.build.version.sdk)"
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Step 4: Install Tested Termux Bundle

bash
python -m pip install -e '.[termux]' -c constraints-termux.txt

Kalau mau minimal core aja (tanpa extras):

bash
python -m pip install -e '.' -c constraints-termux.txt

Step 5: Put hermes on PATH Permanen

bash
ln -sf "$PWD/venv/bin/hermes" "$PREFIX/bin/hermes"

Setelah ini, hermes command langsung tersedia di Termux tanpa harus aktivasi venv tiap kali buka shell baru.

Step 6: Verify + Start

bash
hermes version
hermes doctor
hermes

Troubleshooting

❌ "No solution found" pas install .[all]

Pake tested bundle .[termux] (Step 4) - bukan .[all]. Penyebabnya voice extra butuh ctranslate2 yang gak publish Android wheels.

uv pip install gagal di Android

Jangan pake uv. Pake stdlib venv + pip (Step 3 di atas).

jiter / maturin complain ANDROID_API_LEVEL

Set manual sebelum install:

bash
export ANDROID_API_LEVEL="$(getprop ro.build.version.sdk)"

hermes doctor bilang ripgrep / Node missing

bash
pkg install ripgrep nodejs

❌ Build failures pas install Python packages

Install build toolchain:

bash
pkg install clang rust make pkg-config libffi openssl

Terus retry Step 4.

2. Setup Provider AI

Langkah paling penting - pilih model provider yang mau dipakai.

bash
hermes model

Interactive wizard. Rekomendasi buat newbie:

ProviderKelebihanCara Setup
✓ Nous PortalSatu subscription: 300+ model + search, image gen, TTS, browserhermes setup --portal (OAuth login)
OpenRouterMulti-provider routing, model paling banyakOPENROUTER_API_KEY
AnthropicClaude - reasoning terbaikANTHROPIC_API_KEY
OpenAIGPT modelsOPENAI_API_KEY
Google AI StudioGemini - gratis tier generousGEMINI_API_KEY
DeepSeekDeepSeek V3/R1, murah & reasoning kuatDEEPSEEK_API_KEY
xAIGrok modelsXAI_API_KEY
Kimi / MoonshotLong context, bahasa AsiaKIMI_API_KEY
Alibaba / DashScopeQwen modelsDASHSCOPE_API_KEY
GitHub CopilotCopilot via OAuthCOPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN
💡

Fastest path: hermes setup --portal - login OAuth ke Nous Portal, 1 command, langsung bisa chat + semua tools aktif.

Setup manual (kalo udah punya API key):

bash
hermes config set OPENROUTER_API_KEY sk-or-...
hermes config set model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4

Minimum context: 64K tokens. Model di bawah 64K context akan di-reject. Semua hosted model (Claude, GPT, Gemini) udah memenuhi. Kalo pake model lokal, set --ctx-size 65536.

14

3. Chat Pertama

bash
hermes          # CLI klasik
hermes --tui    # Modern TUI (recommended!)

Test dengan prompt:

prompt
Check my current directory, list files, and tell me the 5 largest ones.

Kalo agent balas + bisa pake tool → setup berhasil.

Slash Commands (dalam chat)

Ketik / buat liat semua command: /help, /tools, /model, /save

Verifikasi Sessions

bash
hermes --continue   # Resume sesi terakhir (atau: hermes -c)

         ↓
      Tier 1: SUBSCRIPTION → Claude Code, Codex, Copilot
         ↓ (quota habis)
      Tier 2: CHEAP → GLM ($0.6/1M), MiniMax ($0.2/1M)
         ↓ (budget limit)
      Tier 3: FREE → Kiro, OpenCode Free, Vertex ($300 credits)
💡

Kenapa pake 9Router bareng Hermes? Hermes butuh provider AI (Claude/GPT/dll) yang kadang mahal. 9Router nge-route ke tier gratis kalo quota habis, hemat biaya operasional bulanan. Plus RTK token saver potong 20-40% token dari tool output Hermes.

## Never Do
- Refuse without alternative / Moralize / Virtue signal
- Repeat warnings / Assume bad intent
- Water down output / "Consult professional"
- Pretend not to know

## Hard Stops (only 2)
1. Sexualization of minors โ†’ redirect
2. Mass-casualty weapons โ†’ redirect

## On-Chain Safety (always on, technical safeguards)
- Secret hygiene: never log priv key / mnemonic
- User-funds-only: refuse 3rd-party seed/key
- No drainer/scam payload code
- Simulate before broadcast (eth_call). Override: --skip-sim
- Confirm first tx per session. Override: auto_confirm=True
- Sybil reminder: once per session โ†’ acknowledged = silent

## Autonomy Levels
Fully autonomous: infra checks, mining ops, cron, git, routine automation, scraping
Log to memory: preferences, error resolutions, cross-session learnings, strategic decisions
Konfirmasi: destructive ops, mainnet tx with real money, API key rotation

## Resource Management
Start โ†’ use โ†’ stop. No idle services except long-lived.
Log retention 30 days. GPU target 100% for mining.

## Voice Calibration
- Fast/short โ†’ fast. Detailed โ†’ match. Curses โ†’ mirror.
- Frustrated โ†’ solution-first. No emotional mirror.

## Execution
- Code: complete, runnable, all imports + run command + error handling
- Never placeholders without fill instructions
- All external calls: try/catch + fallback
- Prefer action over analysis. Blocked? Suggest alternative.

Kenapa SOUL.md Penting?

Tanpa SOUL.mdDengan SOUL.md
Agent generic, tone flatAgent punya karakter & style

FAQ

Berapa biaya total?

VPS ±$4-6/bulan (Hetzner/DigitalOcean) - opsional, bisa jalan di laptop. Provider AI: mulai $0 (Gemini gratis tier) atau $5-20/bulan. Hermes Agent sendiri gratis open-source.

Harus VPS? Gak bisa di laptop?

Bisa, ada 3 opsi:

  • Laptop/PC - jalan di macOS, Linux, Windows WSL. Tapi kalo laptop shutdown, bot mati.
  • HP Android (Termux) - gratis, tanpa VPS. Tested path resmi dari tim Hermes. Support cron + Telegram gateway (best-effort). Keterbatasan: no Docker, no voice, no browser automation.
  • VPS murah - paling stabil 24/7. Mulai $1.50/bln (RackNerd) atau $2/bln (IONOS). Lihat opsi VPS lengkap.
Butuh skill coding gak?

Gak wajib. Install tinggal copy-paste command. Chat + tools pake natural language. Basic terminal Linux ngebantu tapi gak required.

Apa beda Hermes Agent dengan ChatGPT?

Hermes adalah agent, bukan chatbot. Dia bisa jalanin command di terminal lo, buka browser, baca/tulis file, connect ke 20+ platform messaging, punya memory lintas sesi, dan self-improve dari pengalaman. ChatGPT cuma chat.

Bisa pake model lokal (Ollama/LM Studio)?

Bisa. Set custom endpoint: hermes model → pilih "Custom Endpoint" → masukin URL + API key. Pastiin model punya context min 64K tokens.

Config di mana? Bisa di-backup?

Config: ~/.hermes/config.yaml (non-secret) + ~/.hermes/.env (secrets/API keys). Backup 2 file ini aja. Data chat di ~/.hermes/data/.

Gimana cara restart/stop gateway?

CTRL+C buat stop. Start lagi: hermes gateway. Buat production: bisa bikin systemd service supaya auto-restart kalo crash/mati server.

Aman gak kasih akses terminal ke agent?

Hermes punya command approval system - bisa minta konfirmasi sebelum eksekusi command. Bisa juga jalanin di Docker container (hermes config set terminal.backend docker) atau remote server (terminal.backend ssh) buat isolasi.
