Install Hermes Agent on Raspberry Pi 5 for FREE and turn a small board into a self-improving, self-hosted AI agent that runs 24/7. In this complete Hermes Agent tutorial, I walk through the full setup of Hermes Agent the open-source AI agent by Nous Research on Raspberry Pi step by step, from a fresh install to a working local AI assistant you can message from Telegram or Discord.
*What you'll learn*
▸ Raspberry Pi 5 requirements (4GB vs 8GB RAM, 64-bit OS, cooling, storage)
▸ Preparing Raspberry Pi OS Lite Trixie (64-bit) and connecting over SSH
▸ Installing Ollama with a single command
▸ Running "hermes setup" with Ollama
▸ First run: chatting with Hermes from the terminal
▸ Connecting the Telegram / Discord gateway so your Raspberry Pi AI assistant is in your pocket
Hermes Agent is 100% free and open source (MIT license), treats ARM64/aarch64 Linux as a first-class platform, and is perfect for self-hosting fans, homelab users, and anyone who wants local AI on Raspberry Pi without a monthly subscription. A Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM is ideal if you want to run a local model with Ollama; 4GB works fine with a cloud provider.
