hermes

Implementation of the HERMES workflow to automatize software publication with rich metadata. For more extensive documentation, see our HERMES workflow documentation.

(For more information about the HERMES HMC project, see the HERMES project website.)

Installation

hermes' primary use case is to use it in a continuous integration environment.

In case you still want to install on your machine, you can (for example) use pip:

pip install hermes

Note: you must have Python 3.10 or newer installed. Older installations of Python will receive a non-related package because of PyPI limitations!

Development Snapshot

To install the most recent version that has not been released yet, please install from our sources on GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/hermes-hmc/hermes.git

Usage

The hermes application provides the entry point for the HERMES workflow. After installation, you can run it from your command line environment:

hermes --help
hermes harvest

You can also call the hermes package as a Python module:

python -m hermes --help
python -m hermes harvest
