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.
Note: This tutorial assumes you are running a version of Mercurial later than 0.6. In other words, if you have the 0.6 release, the tutorial will not work for you. This tutorial was last updated for Mercurial 0.9.1.
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 (use "hg help" for the full list or option "-v" for details): add add the specified files on the next commit annotate show changeset information per file line clone make a copy of an existing repository (...)
If this is not the case, there is something wrong with your installation, and you should take a look at InstallTroubleshooting.
To determine what version of Mercurial we are running, let's type:
