Getting started¶

A reliable first setup has four stages:

1. install the native build dependencies;
2. build HERMES into a dedicated Python virtual environment;
3. download the checksum-pinned runtime data during CMake configuration;
4. run the C++ tests and the example-suite scientific smoke test.

The current source release is installed with CMake. A pip install hermes distribution is a future packaging goal, not a supported installation route yet.

Continue with Installation, then make a first map.
