| 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
hermes update automatically detects new configuration options and prompts you to add them. If you skipped that prompt, you can manually run hermes config check to see missing options, then hermes config migrate to interactively add them.
:::
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
