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.
