Hermes is a software environment manager used for installing and uninstalling collections of software. While similar to a package manager, Hermes operates differently by defining the entire software stack in a set of package definitions alongside the source code, ensuring strict reproducible control over the software environment. It offers an alternative approach to tools like Homebrew or Docker, with similarities to Nix and Guix. ​

Features

  • Manages software environments through defined package collections
  • Ensures reproducible builds by saving environment definitions with source code
  • Provides strict control over the entire software stack
  • Offers an alternative to traditional package managers and containerization tools
  • Supports hermetic builds for consistent environments
  • Includes a package repository (hpkgs) for Hermes
  • Open-source under the MIT license​
