| Once the box is running, connect to it via SSH from your terminal. Use your [Box API key](/box/overall/quickstart#1-get-your-api-key) as the password when prompted. | ||
| Once the box is running, [set up an SSH key](/box/overall/shell#ssh-keys) and connect to the box from your terminal. You'll use the same key to connect from Hermes Desktop later. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Broken links: Anchor ssh-keys does not exist on /box/overall/shell; that page only has an SSH section.

Summary
Adds a "Connect from Hermes Desktop" step to the Hermes guide. Hermes Desktop can use a remote Hermes as its backend over SSH (Settings → Gateways → Add → SSH); it starts
hermes servein the box and tunnels to it. Desktop SSH only uses keys, so this relies on the new Box SSH keys (upstash/box-backend#298).~/.ssh/configat that key forus-east-1.box.upstash.com, then add the box as an SSH gateway in Hermes Desktop.hermes gateway run) and its screenshot: Hermes Desktop startshermes servein the box itself.Merge order: after #944 (the
/box/overall/shell#ssh-keyslink) and upstash/upstash-console-v2#1609 (the console SSH Keys page).
