| 3 | Updating & Uninstalling | How to update Hermes Agent to the latest version or uninstall it |
Updating & Uninstalling
Updating
Update to the latest version with a single command:
hermes update
This pulls the latest code, updates dependencies, and prompts you to configure any new options that were added since your last update.
:::tip
After updating, run hermes config check to see if there are new configuration options available, then hermes config migrate to interactively add any missing ones.
:::
Updating from Messaging Platforms
You can also update directly from Telegram, Discord, Slack, or WhatsApp by sending:
/update
This pulls the latest code, updates dependencies, and restarts the gateway.
Manual Update
If you installed manually (not via the quick installer):
cd /path/to/hermes-agent
export VIRTUAL_ENV="$(pwd)/venv"
# Pull latest code and submodules
git pull origin main
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Reinstall (picks up new dependencies)
uv pip install -e ".[all]"
uv pip install -e "./mini-swe-agent"
uv pip install -e "./tinker-atropos"
# Check for new config options
hermes config check
hermes config migrate # Interactively add any missing options
Uninstalling
hermes uninstall
The uninstaller gives you the option to keep your configuration files (~/.hermes/) for a future reinstall.
Manual Uninstall
rm -f ~/.local/bin/hermes
rm -rf /path/to/hermes-agent
rm -rf ~/.hermes # Optional — keep if you plan to reinstall
:::info If you installed the gateway as a system service, stop and disable it first:
hermes gateway stop
# Linux: systemctl --user disable hermes-gateway
# macOS: launchctl remove ai.hermes.gateway
