Installation

Requirements

• The Hermes agent (Linux, macOS, or WSL2; the installer bundles what it needs)
• Access to a model provider configured in your Hermes profile
• Credentials for the GIS sources you want to query (an ArcGIS token, a PostGIS connection string, and so on)

1. Install Hermes

curl -fsSL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc

Choose a provider with hermes model, or run hermes setup --portal to log in and enable the Tool Gateway.

2. Pull the GIS skills

The skills live in a GitHub repo. Clone it into your Hermes skills directory:

git clone github.com/daraobeirnecode/hermes-gis-skills ~/.hermes/skills/gis

3. Connect your data

Set credentials as environment variables; the tools read them at call time.

ARCGIS_TOKEN=...
POSTGIS_URL=postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/gis_lab

4. Enable the toolset and ask something

hermes tools   # toggle esri, open-data, postgis
hermes
› which zoning district covers 1234 J Street?

Next: Your first spatial query.
