[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 we're done, we'll 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.
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 we should be able to simply type hg at the prompt, and the program should display some helpful command summaries:
$ hg basic hg commands (use "hg help -v" for more): 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 does not happen, there is something wrong with our installation, and we should take a look at InstallTroubleshooting.
To determine what version of Mercurial you are running, type:
$ hg version Mercurial version fa3578bfafbf+20050629 Copyright (C) 2005 Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
