folders yourself, you talk or type to Hermes, and it works across the whole machine: it opens apps, finds and organises files, watches what is running, remembers what matters to you, runs routines on a schedule, and builds software while you watch. Every action that changes something goes through a permission system you control. > [!NOTE] > **Herald OS is an independent project by [Luke The Dev](https://github.com/iamlukethedev).** It is > not an official Hermes or Nous Research product, and it is not affiliated with, sponsored by or

使用方式

可作为独立操作系统安装（Linux 发行版），也可在 macOS 上作为全屏应用运行，或在 Arch Linux 上作为应用使用。

in. The niri compositor arranges the windows, Herald draws the menu bar, dock, notifications, app launcher and system menus, and its theme styles the lock screen. Hermes starts with the session, with tools to see and operate the machine. Linux apps such as Firefox, LibreOffice and VS Code run as windows inside it, and a curated set comes preinstalled. It installs on a PC from the installer image or runs in a virtual machine, and it updates as a whole system you can roll back. **On Arch Linux and Omarchy,** Herald OS is a package: the full session from the login screen, or

Herald as an app inside Hyprland and Omarchy, following Omarchy's theme and keys. **Herald OS also runs on a Mac,** fullscreen over macOS: the same interface, agent and tools, with macOS underneath handling the hardware and your Mac apps. It is the quickest way to try Herald OS, and where most of it is built. Herald OS does not fork Hermes. It runs a standard Hermes Agent install and adds its system abilities as a regular Hermes plugin, `herald-os-bridge`. ## A look around <table> <tr> <td width="50%"><img src="docs/images/boot.png" alt="The Herald OS boot screen"></td>

部署要求

需要安装 Hermes Agent 并配置模型提供商（如 Nous Portal 账户或支持的 API 密钥）。macOS 版本需要 macOS 13 或更高版本。

查看 README 依据

Hermes needs a model provider whichever you pick: a [Nous Portal](https://portal.nousresearch.com) account, or an API key for a provider Hermes supports (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, a local model, and others). Herald OS shows a sign-in card the first time Hermes needs one, and Settings > Hermes & agents > Model provider switches to another provider or takes its API key, a custom endpoint's included. ### macOS You need macOS 13 (Ventura) or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel ([On an Intel Mac](#on-an-intel-mac)). **1. Install Hermes Agent** and choose a model, if you don't have it yet:

```bash curl -fsSL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh | bash source ~/.zshrc hermes setup ``` **2. Install Herald OS.** Download `HeraldOS-<version>-mac-arm64.dmg` (Apple Silicon) or `HeraldOS-<version>-mac-x64.dmg` (Intel) from the [releases page](https://github.com/iamlukethedev/Herald-OS/releases), open it and drag Herald OS to Applications. Apple menu > About This Mac says which you have: "Chip: Apple M…" is Apple Silicon, "Processor: … Intel …" is Intel. **3. Let it open.** This build is not notarized by Apple yet, so macOS stops it the first time.

已知限制

当前为 alpha 版本（0.1），可能存在粗糙之处，建议备份重要数据。Intel Mac 版本尚未经过测试。

> endorsed by Nous Research. Herald OS runs on [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent), > the open-source agent Nous Research publishes, which is installed alongside it. > **Status: alpha (0.1).** Expect rough edges, and keep backups of anything you let an agent > touch. ## Install Every download is on the [releases page](https://github.com/iamlukethedev/Herald-OS/releases). Pick the way that matches your machine: | Your machine | What to install | | --- | --- | | A Mac, Apple Silicon or Intel | [Herald OS for macOS](#macos) |

Download `HeraldOS-<version>-mac-x64.dmg` and follow the steps above. The Intel build is the same app built for x86_64, with node-pty's Intel binaries for the Terminal, but it is new and has not been tried on an Intel Mac yet: please [open an issue](https://github.com/iamlukethedev/Herald-OS/issues) if something does not work. To try the whole OS instead, open the ready-made x86_64 disk in [UTM](https://mac.getutm.app), as in [On Linux or an Intel Mac](#on-linux-or-an-intel-mac), or install the x86_64 installer ISO from
