|

|
|
|
9 All major Linux distributions provide a prebuilt Mercurial package.
|
|
|
10 Because each Linux distribution has its own packaging tools, policies,
|
|
|
11 and rate of development, it's difficult to give a comprehensive set of
|
|
|
12 instructions on how to install Mercurial binaries, and the version of
|
|
|
13 Mercurial that you will end up with can vary widely.
|
|
|
14
|
|
|
15 To keep things simple, I will focus on installing Mercurial from the
|
|
|
16 command line under the most popular Linux distributions. Most of
|
|
|
17 these distributions provide graphical package managers that will let
|
|
|
18 you install Mercurial with a single click; the package name to look
|
|
|
19 for is \texttt{mercurial}.

|
53 Lee Cantey publishes an installer of Mercurial for Mac OS~X at
|
|
|
54 \url{http://mercurial.berkwood.com}. This package works on both
|
|
|
55 Intel- and Power-based Macs, but requires you to install Universal
|
|
|
56 Python before you can use it. This is easy to do; simply follow the
|
|
|
57 instructions on Lee's site.

|
|
|
65 Lee Cantey publishes an installer of Mercurial for Windows at
|
|
|
66 \url{http://mercurial.berkwood.com}. This package has no external
|
|
|
67 dependencies; it ``just works''.

|
|
|
69 \begin{note}
|
|
|
70 The Windows version of Mercurial does not automatically convert line
|
|
|
71 endings between Windows and Unix styles. If you want to share work
|
|
|
72 with Unix users, you must do a little additional configuration
|
|
|
73 work. XXX Flesh this out.
