Hermes Desktop ⇄ VPS Agent — Full Setup Guide

What's inside

A full paste-and-click walkthrough for turning your 24/7 VPS-hosted Hermes agent into a visual desktop app on your laptop — same memory, same chats, everything.

You'll set up:

• Hermes installed correctly on Windows, macOS, or Linux (including the real fix for the PowerShell curl error most people hit)
• A password-protected reverse tunnel from your VPS to the public internet
• Hermes Desktop connected to that tunnel — Memory Graph, bots roster, files, and live tool activity, all visual

Includes the exact copy-paste "Master Prompt" that runs the entire server-side setup automatically, plus a troubleshooting table for the two failure modes everyone hits.
