A complete guide: from a blank SD card to a self-improving agent running 24/7 on your home network, reachable via SSH and (optionally) Telegram/Discord/WhatsApp.
Why this works well: Hermes Agent officially supports Linux aarch64 as a Tier 1 platform via the install.sh installer. The LLM inference runs on a remote provider (Nous Portal, OpenRouter, Anthropic, etc.), so the Pi only handles orchestration, tools, memory, and the messaging gateway — 16 GB of RAM is generous headroom for this.
