## Getting Started
Hermes supports multiple inference providers. Pick one to get going:
After installing, connect Hermes to an LLM provider. The quickest way:
**Option A — Nous Portal (subscription):**
```bash
hermes login # Opens browser to authenticate with Nous Portal
hermes # Start chatting!
hermes login # Log in with your Nous Portal account (opens browser)
hermes # Start chatting!
```
**Option B — OpenRouter (pay-per-use, 100+ models):**
```bash
hermes model # Interactive provider & model selector
# → choose OpenRouter, paste your API key, pick a model
hermes # Start chatting!
```
**Option C — Custom endpoint (VLLM, SGLang, etc.):**
```bash
hermes model # → choose Custom endpoint, enter URL + API key + model name
hermes # Start chatting!
```
You can switch providers and models at any time with `hermes model`.
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.
