Hermes Setup

Hermes is the best fit when you want Coppermind memory woven into the session lifecycle instead of exposed mainly as explicit tools.

Recommended setup

npm install -g coppermind
coppermind setup
coppermind patch hermes
coppermind daemon start
coppermind doctor

This is the local-first path.

What the patcher does

coppermind patch hermes installs the managed Coppermind plugin into the local Hermes environment and points Hermes at the local Coppermind runtime.

That means:

• no Coppermind account required for first success
• no manual database setup
• memory retrieval and capture happen through the runtime-managed path

How to know it worked

The simplest proof is:

1. start a Hermes session
2. ask something worth remembering
3. continue the session or start another turn
4. verify that earlier context comes back naturally

If you want the standalone cloud-connected package instead

That is a different path. Read Hermes Plugin.

If it does not work

Start with:

coppermind doctor
coppermind doctor --check

Then continue with Troubleshooting and Support.
