This package uses Python 3.12 from AUR to stay consistent with Nous Research recommendations

It uses venv to install all Python 3.12 compatible dependencies

The installation path is /opt/hermes-agent

Due to lack of permissions for the user, lazily installed packages, which should auto-install when needed, cannot be installed. We try to prepackage some of them such as: firecrawl,exa,parallel-web,messaging.

Hermes desktop is not yet included, if it is needed by the community we can prepackage it as well. Although that would mean an extra ~300MB at least in the final package size

Hi, the packaged venv is missing the anthropic Python dependency.

@cwee good catch. That was a hack that lingered since the early versions of this PKGBUILD when the goal was to just make things work, avoiding build errors at that time. I removed the delete instructions in a new update, but the package-lock.json is still excluded from the installation since we do not run any lazy node installations once the package is deployed on the system.

we delete package-lock.json in multiple places. please avoid doing this, since it increases the risk of supply chain attacks and makes the build prone to breaking from package uprevs.

tracing git blame, I see the reason this is done while building frontend is "to get latest tailwindcss". could this be done by editing/patching the manifest to uprev tailwindcss to a specific version?

the second instance is when buildling whatsapp-bridge. I don't see a reason documented in commit ccde71879321 nor in the PKGBUILD

Hermes upstream removed firecrawl, exa, parallel-web, and other optional backends from the [all] extra on 5/12, they're now exclusively lazy-installed at runtime via tools/lazy_deps.py. The build() does pip install .[all], which no longer includes these packages. The lazy-deps then tries to uv/pip install firecrawl-py at first use, but the venv at /opt/hermes-agent/venv/ is root-owned, so the write fails. This breaks web_search and web_extract for every user out of the box.

Pre-installing the lazy deps at build time might works: add venv/bin/pip install .[firecrawl,exa,parallel-web] in build()

Fresh install via paru and hermes dashboard is broken. Two issues the PKGBUILD should handle: 1. ui-tui gets installed to /opt/hermes-agent/ui-tui but hermes looks for it in /opt/hermes-agent/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ui-tui. I fixed it by symlinking it: ln -s /opt/hermes-agent/ui-tui /opt/hermes-agent/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ui-tui 2. The build script tries to rebuild the TUI from src/entry.tsx on every launch but src/ isn't shipped, even with dist/entry.js being prebuilt. I fixed it by replacing the build script: cp /opt/hermes-agent/ui-tui/scripts/build.mjs /opt/hermes-agent/ui-tui/scripts/build.mjs.bak echo "console.log('skipping build, using prebuilt dist/entry.js')" > /opt/hermes-agent/ui-tui/scripts/build.mjs

After install, venv/bin/ scripts have shebangs pointing to the build cache:

@Xarth thanks for your feedback and continuous tests. I updated the PKGBUILD in pkgrel 4. Any comments are welcome.

Co-maintaining is open

Shebang points to the build directory and fails after cleaning the cache.

After install, venv/bin/ scripts have shebangs pointing to the paru build cache:

#!/home/$USER/.cache/paru/clone/hermes-agent/src/.../venv/bin/python3.11

Cleaning the cache breaks the package. This happens because pip install in build() writes shebangs to ${srcdir}, and package() copies them verbatim
