You're not the client here โ you're the person building the agent for clients. These are the two pillars of your business toolkit. Master them and you can ship anything.
Sign Up for GitHub
github.com
Why it matters: GitHub is where the code lives. Clients sign up first because the agent's code needs to be saved somewhere โ GitHub is that safe. Your agent can also push and pull directly from GitHub, so you (or the client) can ship updates from anywhere. After signing up, generate a token (Step 6) so the agent can act on the client's behalf.
Sign Up for Netlify
netlify.com
Why it matters: Netlify turns a GitHub repo into a live website in one click. When your agent builds a frontend (HTML, React, anything static), you connect Netlify to the GitHub repo and it auto-deploys. Perfect for client demos, landing pages, and apps โ no server setup, no DevOps, no bill.
Install Python
python.org/downloads
Hermes runs on Python. Click the big yellow button, run the .pkg. The installer may also fire automatically from the terminal command below โ either way works.
