# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Dashboard inheriting Desktop's HERMES_WEB_DIST environment variable

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members share one theme: the standalone web dashboard may inherit the HERMES_WEB_DIST environment variable from the Desktop app and load the wrong frontend. Several pull requests propose unsetting or isolating that inherited variable at dashboard launch, and one is described as superseding two earlier ones.
