This guide walks you through setting up Hermes inside an Upstash Box.

​
1. Create a Box

Create a keep-alive box with the Medium size. See the quickstart if you haven’t created one before.
Hermes is resource-intensive, so we recommend starting with a Medium box to ensure a smooth installation.

​
2. Connect via SSH

Once the box is running, connect to it via SSH from your terminal. Use your Box API key as the password when prompted. The box-id is the name of your box (e.g. right-flamingo-14486). 
ssh <box-id>@us-east-1.box.upstash.com

​
3. Install Hermes

Run the following command to download and install Hermes inside the box. 
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
Follow the CLI prompts to complete the setup. Congratulations! You have successfully set up Hermes on your Upstash Box.
