The idea in one minute

Start with meaning, then move to detail.

This lesson explains Platform Support as part of getting started with Hermes correctly. You will learn what it does, when it matters, and the smallest safe test that proves it works.

If you are new

If you are new, do not memorize names. Focus on three questions: what problem does this solve, what access does it need, and how can you verify the result?

For hands-on use

For practice, open the source, choose one section, and write an expected result before changing configuration.

For specialists

For advanced readers, inspect Tier 1, Tier 2, Unsupported, then verify failure modes and version compatibility.

What do you need first?

No prior experience is required; follow the steps on a safe test setup first.

What will you know?

A clear outcome before you read.

  • Understand Platform Support without assumed prior knowledge.
  • Separate the source description from what still needs testing in your environment.
  • Write one sentence describing what should change after applying this topic.
Official page description

Which operating systems, distribution methods, and features Hermes Agent supports.

    Unsupported

    Finish here to verify the result and special cases.

Try it now

Write one sentence describing what should change after applying this topic.

Match every command to your installed Hermes version, review the files and accounts it can reach, and use non-sensitive data for the first test. If this explanation differs from the source, the official source wins.

Knowledge check

Three decisions before completion.

1. What is the source of truth when “Platform Support” changes?
2. What is the best way to apply this lesson?
3. What should happen before a step can modify files or an external account?
