Desktop packages on macOS or Windows
Download the package for your platform from the Hermes website . Windows: open the .appinstaller download with Windows App Installer. It installs the signed MSIX bundle and records its update source. Microsoft Store packages have separate Store ownership. macOS: open the DMG, then copy Hermes.app to Applications. The ZIP artifact carries the signed app used by the automatic updater. Bundled packages contain the agent, Python, supported dependencies, and prebuilt interfaces. First launch does not build that base runtime. Provider access and optional integrations can still require network access. A Hermes-Setup bootstrap installer is different: it downloads a source installation and builds the desktop app. Light is a remote-only build variant, not a bundled local runtime. See Hermes Desktop . note The macOS installer is Apple Silicon only . macOS on x86 (Intel) processors is not a supported platform .
