- **Nightly (rolling prerelease):** [desktop-nightly](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/releases/tag/desktop-nightly)

Native Windows is **not supported**. Please install [WSL2](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) and run Hermes Agent from there. The install command above works inside WSL2.
Native Windows for the **CLI installer path** is still not supported. Please install [WSL2](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) and run Hermes Agent from there if you want the CLI flow.
