Hi Hermes Team,

First of all, thank you so much for creating this amazing project! Hermes has greatly simplified the process of building and deploying AI agents.

Background & Pain Points

As a Windows user, I found that getting Hermes up and running on Windows can be quite challenging:

  • Hermes Agent needs to run in WSL2, which is not familiar to many Windows users
  • Setting up WSL2, installing dependencies, and configuring everything takes a lot of time
  • Auto-start on Windows login is not straightforward
  • Managing both Hermes Agent and hermes-webui as background services is cumbersome

My Solution: hermes-for-win

To solve these pain points for Windows users, I created hermes-for-win - a one-click installation and deployment tool specifically for Windows:

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/EdwardWason/hermes-for-win

Key Features:

  • One-click installation: Automatically downloads and configures both Hermes Agent and hermes-webui
  • Auto-start: Windows task scheduler integration for login-time auto-start
  • Background operation: Both services run silently in the background
  • Easy management: PowerShell scripts for checking status, starting, stopping, and updating
  • Bilingual documentation: Both English and Chinese READMEs

Quick Start for Windows Users:

# Download and extract hermes-for-win-v1.0.2.zip
# Run the installation script
.\scripts\install-hermes.ps1
# Done! Visit http://localhost:8788

Release Information

Latest Release: v1.0.2

Why This Matters

I believe this tool can help:

  • Lower the barrier for Windows users to try Hermes
  • Increase adoption among the Windows user community
  • Provide a reference implementation for Windows deployment

Thank you again for your incredible work on Hermes! I hope this project can be helpful to the community.

Best regards, EdwardWason
