I installed Hermes Desktop on macOS but it was different from what I expected lol (I thought it would work as a client application for my Hermes agent I set up).
Here are 4 steps to uninstall Hermes Desktop from macOS.
hermes gateway stop
pkill -f "hermes"\n
rm -f ~/.local/bin/hermes\n
rm -rf ~/.hermes\n
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.hermes.gateway.plist
launchctl remove ai.hermes.gateway
rm -f ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.hermes.gateway.plist
