Tutorial - getting started: installation

Installing Mercurial is straightforward.

  • For Linux, MacOS X, and other Unix variants, follow the UnixInstall directions.

  • On Windows, follow the WindowsInstall instructions.

Once you're done, come back here.

The Mercurial program is named hg. Every Mercurial command starts with hg, followed by the command name, followed by any relevant options and arguments.

Now that Mercurial is installed, we should be able to simply type hg at the prompt, and the program should display some helpful command summaries:

$ hg
Mercurial Distributed SCM

basic commands:

 add        add the specified files on the next commit
 annotate   show changeset information per file line
 clone      make a copy of an existing repository
 commit     commit the specified files or all outstanding changes
 (...)

use "hg help" for the full list of commands or "hg -v" for details

To determine what version of Mercurial we are running, let's type:

$ hg version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.0)
