How to Get Hermes DDC to Work on Mac

Ever tried getting Hermes DDC to work on your Mac and felt like you were walking in a tech fog? Trust me, I’ve been there. Whether you’re diving into debugging or just trying to set up a smooth workflow, this guide breaks it all down into bite-sized steps.

Let’s make it happen!


Step 1: Check Your Mac’s Compatibility

Before diving in, make sure your Mac is ready for Hermes DDC. Ask yourself:

  • Is your macOS version up-to-date?
    (Hint: Hermes DDC works best on macOS Big Sur or later.)
  • Do you have admin rights on your machine?
    (You’ll need them for installations.)

If you’re unsure, hit that Apple logo > About This Mac for a quick check.


Step 2: Install Hermes DDC

Here’s how to get the software on your Mac:

  1. Head to the Hermes DDC GitHub page
    Download the latest release.
    (Pro tip: Always grab the one tagged as “stable.”)
  2. Unzip the file
    Drag the folder to your Applications folder. Easy-peasy.
  3. Open Terminal
    You’ll need this to run commands.
    (Search “Terminal” using Spotlight if you’ve never used it.)

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Hermes DDC might need some help from other tools. Here’s what to do:

  • Install Homebrew:bashCopy code/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" Think of Homebrew as the Swiss Army knife for macOS tools.
  • Use Homebrew to install Node.js and npm:Copy codebrew install node

Step 4: Configure Hermes DDC

Let’s get Hermes DDC talking to your system.

  1. Open Terminal and navigate to the Hermes DDC folder:bashCopy codecd /Applications/Hermes-DDC
  2. Run the setup script:arduinoCopy code./setup.sh
  3. Follow the prompts to configure the tool.
    (It’ll ask about permissions—say “yes” to everything.)

Step 5: Test the Installation

Make sure everything’s working by running:

cssCopy codehermes --version

You should see the version number pop up. If not, go back to Step 4 and double-check.


Step 6: Adjust macOS Permissions (If Needed)

Macs love security. If Hermes DDC isn’t running smoothly, try this:

  • Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
  • Under Privacy, click Full Disk Access.
  • Add Hermes DDC to the list.

Step 7: Start Using Hermes DDC

Finally, launch Hermes DDC with:

sqlCopy codehermes start

From here, you can debug, optimize, and explore.
