Get started
Mercurial is written in Python with platform independence in mind. As a result, Mercurial is available on Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris 11 Express and others. You can either download a binary package for the system of your choice or build it from sources.
Windows users are likely to enjoy the TortoiseHg GUI the most. It integrates Mercurial directly into your explorer.
Packages for common Linux, BSD and Solaris distributions can be installed from the system specific repositories:
(Ubuntu: If you need a more recent version than what is available through apt-get, you can try the PPA.)
# Debian/Ubuntu $ apt-get install mercurial # Fedora $ dnf install mercurial # Gentoo $ emerge mercurial # Mac OS (homebrew) $ brew install mercurial # FreeBSD $ cd /usr/ports/devel/mercurial $ make install # Solaris 11 Express $ pkg install SUNWmercurial
