# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Doctor command and globally installed agent-browser detection

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The members concern the doctor command's check for agent-browser: one bug report says it reports agent-browser as not installed when it is installed globally, and two similarly titled fix entries propose checking for a global install when no local one is found. The titles do not indicate the current status of any of these.
