Description

Previously I had installed webui on a machine which already had hermes agent installed.

Today I was testing on a new install of Ubuntu 26.04

So as per https://get-hermes.ai/setup/

It says to run

curl -fsSL https://get-hermes.ai/install.sh | bash

And it will "installs Hermes Agent if it's missing"

But it doesn't

It actually just says as below and tells you that you need to manually install it first

I assume it should be doing it automatically as per the wording on above page?

darren@Ubuntu:~/Downloads$ curl -fsSL https://get-hermes.ai/install.sh | bash

Hermes Web UI installer (community project)

✓ git and Python 3.14 found

! Hermes Agent (the hermes CLI) is not installed yet. Hermes Web UI runs on top of Hermes Agent, so install that first:

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

Then re-open your shell (or source ~/.bashrc) and run this installer again. Agent docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/getting-started/installation
