### Pull a model Ollama handles everything automatically:
Before running the setup wizard, make sure you have a model available. Hermes will auto-detect models downloaded through Ollama. 1. **Install** — If Hermes isn't installed, Ollama prompts to install it via the Nous Research install script
2. **Model** — Pick a model from the selector (local or cloud)
3. **Onboarding** — Ollama configures the Ollama provider, points Hermes at `http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1`, and sets your model as the primary
4. **Gateway** — Optionally connects a messaging platform (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Email) and launches the Hermes chat
<Note>Hermes on Windows requires WSL2. Install it with `wsl --install` and re-run from inside the WSL shell.</Note>
## Recommended models
**Cloud models**:
- `kimi-k2.5:cloud` — Multimodal reasoning with subagents
- `glm-5.1:cloud` — Reasoning and code generation
- `qwen3.5:cloud` — Reasoning, coding, and agentic tool use with vision
- `minimax-m2.7:cloud` — Fast, efficient coding and real-world productivity
**Local models:**
- `gemma4` — Reasoning and code generation locally (~16 GB VRAM)
- `qwen3.6` — Reasoning, coding, and visual understanding locally (~24 GB VRAM)

## Connect messaging apps
Link Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, or Email to chat with your models from anywhere:
