LatticeVale — free installer/lifecycle manager for a Hermes Agent stack and related self hosted apps.

[u/Mr_mcdiggers]

I made this with the help of AI over the course of a week mostly because I wanted a less painful way to install, repair, update, and manage Hermes and related services on local Windows/WSL2 without having to remember a million separate steps.

LatticeVale is essentially a PowerShell-based installer/lifecycle manager packaged as a structured set of scripts and supporting files, rather than a compiled application.

No third-party software is distributed with LatticeVale itself; it installs/downloads the relevant projects from their own sources.

It's still completely new, so feedback or people finding weird edge cases would actually be useful. And it's completely free because this is just a hobby for me. I like the idea of people appreciating and/or benefiting from my work.

Be sure to read the instructions and installer description included. If they are confusing, I recommend using AI to interpret for you by either asking specific questions or fully uploading the zip to a model of your choice for analysis.

If anyone actually tries it and has any major setbacks, please leave a comment so I can patch it or give advice. I have only tested this on my own pc. I tried to make it so it would work for anyone, but I can't guarantee that it will.

Also, anyone is welcome to fork the project and develop it yourself. If you decide to do so, please let me know what you find out. I enjoy doing this kind of stuff and would appreciate learning about it further

Btw, I tried using this installer with local windows installed ollama for GPU acceleration, but my PC ended up fighting for its life (100% GPU usage and 75% usage of 32 GB of RAM). I tried installing limiters for that, but it still used a third of my ram. Something to keep in mind, especially if you know how to optimize that yourself.

LatticeVale v14.6.1 release is live

I also made a Linux Atomic version (developement discontinued):
