## Getting Started
After installing, connect Hermes to an LLM provider. The quickest way:
The installer (`hermes setup`) walks you through selecting a provider and model. Once that's done:
```bash
hermes login # Log in with your Nous Portal account (opens browser)
hermes # Start chatting!
```
Don't have a Nous Portal account? Use `hermes model` to set up **OpenRouter** (100+ models, pay-per-use API key) or a **custom endpoint** (VLLM, SGLang, or any OpenAI-compatible API) instead. You can switch providers and models at any time by running `hermes model` again.
To change your provider or model later:
```bash
hermes model # Interactive provider & model selector
```
This lets you switch between **Nous Portal** (subscription), **OpenRouter** (100+ models, pay-per-use), or a **custom endpoint** (VLLM, SGLang, any OpenAI-compatible API) at any time.
