Apa itu Hermes Agent?
Hermes Agent adalah autonomous AI agent yang dibangun oleh Nous Research - lab yang bikin model Hermes, Nomos, dan Psyche. Bukan sekadar chatbot wrapper.
Prasyarat
Yang perlu disiapin. Installer nge-handle hampir semuanya otomatis - satu-satunya prerequisite cuma Git.
| Item | Wajib? | Keterangan |
|---|---|---|
| Git | ✓ Wajib | apt install git kalo belum |
| Python / Node.js | ✗ Otomatis | Installer auto-detect + install via uv |
| Server / Laptop | ✓ | Linux, macOS, WSL2, Windows native, Android (Termux) |
| API Key Provider | ✓ | OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, atau Nous Portal (OAuth) |
| Waktu | ⏱ | ~5 menit dari 0 sampai chat pertama |
Gak perlu install Python, Node.js, ripgrep, atau ffmpeg manual. Installer otomatis detect yang missing dan install-in buat kamu.

Gak punya budget buat VPS? Install Hermes gratis di HP Android pake Termux - tested path resmi dari tim Hermes. Detail lengkap di section bawah.
📱 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)
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:
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
pkg update && pkg upgrade -y pkg install python git build-essential
Step 2: Clone Repo Hermes
git clone https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent.git cd hermes-agent
Step 3: Create Virtual Environment
export ANDROID_API_LEVEL="$(getprop ro.build.version.sdk)" python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
Step 4: Install Tested Termux Bundle
python -m pip install -e '.[termux]' -c constraints-termux.txt
Kalau mau minimal core aja (tanpa extras):
python -m pip install -e '.' -c constraints-termux.txt
Step 5: Put hermes on PATH Permanen
ln -sf "$PWD/venv/bin/hermes" "$PREFIX/bin/hermes"
Setelah ini, hermes command langsung tersedia di Termux tanpa harus aktivasi venv tiap kali buka shell baru.
Step 6: Verify + Start
hermes version hermes doctor hermes
Troubleshooting
❌ "No solution found" pas install .[all]
Pake tested bundle .[termux] (Step 4) - bukan .[all]. Penyebabnya voice extra butuh ctranslate2 yang gak publish Android wheels.
❌ uv pip install gagal di Android
Jangan pake uv. Pake stdlib venv + pip (Step 3 di atas).
❌ jiter / maturin complain ANDROID_API_LEVEL
Set manual sebelum install:
export ANDROID_API_LEVEL="$(getprop ro.build.version.sdk)"
❌ hermes doctor bilang ripgrep / Node missing
pkg install ripgrep nodejs
❌ Build failures pas install Python packages
Install build toolchain:
pkg install clang rust make pkg-config libffi openssl
Terus retry Step 4.

1. Install Hermes Agent
Satu command, semua ke-handle otomatis.
Linux / macOS / WSL2 / Android (Termux)
curl -fsSL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh | bash
Windows (PowerShell)
iex (irm https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.ps1)
macOS / Windows Desktop
Download Hermes Desktop installer - lebih gampang lagi, ada GUI.
Setelah install, reload shell:
source ~/.bashrc # atau: source ~/.zshrc
Verifikasi: hermes --version harus keluar versi terbaru.
Apa yang Installer Lakukan?
- Deteksi OS + install dependencies (uv, Python 3.11, Node.js 22, ripgrep, ffmpeg)
- Clone repo Hermes Agent ke
~/.hermes/hermes-agent/ - Setup virtual environment Python + install semua package
- Bikin global command
hermesdi PATH - Prompt setup provider AI (bisa di-skip dulu)
2. Setup Provider AI
Langkah paling penting - pilih model provider yang mau dipakai.
hermes model
Interactive wizard. Rekomendasi buat newbie:
| Provider | Kelebihan | Cara Setup |
|---|---|---|
| ✓ Nous Portal | Satu subscription: 300+ model + search, image gen, TTS, browser | hermes setup --portal (OAuth login) |
| OpenRouter | Multi-provider routing, model paling banyak | OPENROUTER_API_KEY |
| Anthropic | Claude - reasoning terbaik | ANTHROPIC_API_KEY |
| OpenAI | GPT models | OPENAI_API_KEY |
| Google AI Studio | Gemini - gratis tier generous | GEMINI_API_KEY |
| DeepSeek | DeepSeek V3/R1, murah & reasoning kuat | DEEPSEEK_API_KEY |
| xAI | Grok models | XAI_API_KEY |
| Kimi / Moonshot | Long context, bahasa Asia | KIMI_API_KEY |
| Alibaba / DashScope | Qwen models | DASHSCOPE_API_KEY |
| GitHub Copilot | Copilot via OAuth | COPILOT_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):
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.
3. Chat Pertama
hermes # CLI klasik hermes --tui # Modern TUI (recommended!)
Test dengan 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
hermes --continue # Resume sesi terakhir (atau: hermes -c)
4. API Key Gratisan & Router Murah

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.

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.
