Hermes Agent (Hamers) Configuration Guide for OneToken API Integration

I. Product Introduction

Hermes Agent is an open-source, autonomous AI agent framework developed by Nous Research, possessing “closed-loop self-learning” capabilities. Unlike other AI tools that forget after a single conversation, Hermes’ core advantage lies in its persistent cross-session memory and automatic skill extraction system. After completing a complex task independently or through tools, it evaluates the results and automatically encapsulates them into “skill cards.” The next time a similar task is encountered, it can directly retrieve and invoke the skill, becoming increasingly intelligent with use. Hermes employs a decoupled design, not binding to any single model vendor, and supports seamless integration with various third-party large model APIs via native configuration or command line.

II. Download and Installation on Different Platforms

Hermes Agent supports macOS, Linux, and Windows (WSL2) environments. ### 1. Preparation Ensure your system has the following installed:

Python 3.10+
Node.js 18+

2. Linux, macOS, WSL2, Termux Installation

Open a terminal and execute the official one-click installation script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

After installation, verify success:

hermes --version

3. Windows

Because Hermes involves low-level terminal tool calls, it is recommended to run it on the Windows WSL2 (Ubuntu 22.04+) subsystem. Run this in PowerShell:

iex (irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.ps1)

III. Changing Configuration to Access Third-Party API Formats

Hermes provides extremely simple model management commands and also supports manually accessing third-party API interfaces compatible with OpenAI formats by modifying environment configuration files.

Method 1: Quickly Switch Using the Built-in Command Line (Recommended)

Hermes supports interactive configuration. Simply enter the following command in the terminal:

hermes model

An interactive menu will pop up, listing mainstream third-party vendors (such as OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, MiniMax, etc.). After selecting the corresponding vendor, enter your API Key to automatically complete the configuration. **Tips (OpenClaw User Migration): If you are a previous OpenClaw user, you can use the migration command to import all configurations and API keys with one click: hermes claw migrate Enter the interactive menu and use the up and down arrow keys to navigate to the options, then press Enter to confirm your selection.
