Install
The attached installer and portable executable contain the Hermes Launcher
control centre. They do not bundle the 20 GB Laguna model or
project-managed runtimes.
Clone the repository to D:\Hermes-Local and run
Setup-Hermes-Local.ps1 -NonInteractive first. See the
installation guide.
These locally built binaries are not Authenticode-signed, so Windows may show
a SmartScreen warning. Verify the checksums before running them.
