# Hermes

## Purpose

Operate the independent Hermes agent app through MSO’s managed-app interface.

## Audience

MSO operators who want to manage a Hermes runtime on their own host.

## Requirements

An MSO host with a working user systemd bus or its reviewed Docker fallback. Hermes keeps its own data and provider configuration.

## First step

Check doctor, open Managed Apps on your host and inspect Hermes’s available backend before installing.

## Outcome

Know whether your host can run Hermes and where to inspect lifecycle and logs.

## Availability and limits

External reference. External software. Catalog inclusion does not establish MANEF ownership or universal runtime compatibility.

## User story and flow

As an MSO operator, I want to verify the Hermes backend requirements before installing its runtime. Flow: catalog → brief → first action → outcome. Acceptance: Know whether your host can run Hermes and where to inspect lifecycle and logs.
