Run this first in your WSL shell:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ripgrep ffmpeg

Then rerun the Hermes installer.

That gets you past the stuck confirmation step, because the installer only stops there while trying to optionally install those two packages. Hermes itself does not need sudo beyond that.

I’m treating the stuck yes/no prompt as a bug on our side, but this manual install should unblock you right now. After you rerun it, you'll get through cleanly.
