-In Hermes Dashboard, open **Plugins**, choose **Install from repository**, enter the URL above, and install. The repository contains the root `plugin.yaml`, dashboard manifest, backend API, compiled frontend bundle, stylesheet, and an opt-in prerequisite declaration. On Linux, the Hermes installer will verify Ollama, install it with the official Ollama installer when missing, and install the plugin's `pypdf` dependency before committing the plugin into `~/.hermes/plugins/`. Ollama installation needs root or passwordless `sudo`; if the host cannot provide that, the plugin install stops without enabling a partially configured plugin. After installation or an update, restart only the Hermes dashboard service if requested by the installer.

On Linux, the Hermes installer will verify Ollama, install it with the official Ollama installer when missing, and install the plugin's `pypdf` dependency before committing the plugin into `~/.hermes/plugins/`. Ollama installation requires the Hermes container to run as root, which is the expected configuration for a privileged ZimaOS deployment. If the container is not running as root, the plugin install stops without enabling a partially configured plugin. After installation or an update, restart only the Hermes dashboard service if requested by the installer.
