Port details
hermes-agent AI agent with built-in learning loop
0.23.0_1 misc Σ 0.18.0Version of this port present on the latest quarterly branch. Maintainer: olivier@FreeBSD.org Port Added: 2026-05-07 08:30:20Last Update: 2026-11-07 11:26:12Commit Hash: 0fb58f0 Also Listed In: python License: MITWWW: https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent Description: # Hermes is a self-improving AI agent that creates skills from experience and
improves them during use. It runs as a CLI on a developer's machine and
supports a pluggable toolset system, multiple LLM backends (OpenAI, Anthropic,
Mistral, Bedrock, ...), web search and crawling integrations, voice / TTS /
messaging connectors, and an agent-control protocol (ACP) adapter.
This port installs the core CLI plus the optional [web] dashboard
backend (FastAPI + Uvicorn). The dashboard's static frontend assets
(hermes_cli/web_dist/) are produced by an upstream npm pipeline that is
not run in the ports build environment. Other upstream extras such as
Modal, Daytona, Vercel, faster-whisper, Telegram, Discord, Slack and
the [rl] training loop are not packaged.
Because Hermes ships top-level Python packages with generic names
(tools, agent, gateway, plugins, ...), the source tree is installed
under ${PREFIX}/lib/hermes-agent/ rather than site-packages, matching
upstream's own Docker / Nix / Homebrew packaging. The wrappers in
${PREFIX}/bin prepend that directory to sys.path before invoking each
entry point.
The skills/ and optional-skills/ template directories ship under
${DATADIR}/. Hermes reads its working set from ${HOME}/.hermes/. Manual pages: # FreshPorts has no man page information for this port.
