Root installs on Linux now put the code at /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent and
the hermes command at /usr/local/bin/hermes. HERMES_HOME (~/.hermes) stays
state-only. Matches Claude Code / Codex CLI / OpenClaw, keeps Docker
bind-mounted /root/ volumes lean, and puts the command on every shell's
default PATH without touching shell RC files.
- Non-root users and macOS root: unchanged
- Existing root installs at $HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent: preserved in-place
(detected via .git dir) — no auto-migration, no breakage
- Explicit --dir / $HERMES_INSTALL_DIR: always wins, never overridden
- Termux: unchanged (package manager manages /data/data/...)
Requested by @souly9999 (Discord). Our own Dockerfile already uses this
split (code at /opt/hermes, data at /opt/data volume); the user-install
path now matches.
