| 2 EasyMercurial | |
| 3 ============= | |
| 4 | |
| 5 EasyMercurial is a user interface for the Mercurial distributed | |
| 6 version control system. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 EasyMercurial is intended to be: | |
| 9 | |
| 10 * simple to teach and to learn | |
| 11 * indicative of repository state using a history graph representation | |
| 12 * recognisably close to normal command-line workflow for Mercurial | |
| 13 * consistent across platforms | |
| 14 | |
| 15 We are not trying to produce "the best" Mercurial client for any one | |
| 16 purpose. We actively encourage users to move on to other clients as | |
| 17 their needs evolve. The aim is simply to provide something accessible | |
| 18 for beginners in small project groups working with a shared remote | |
| 19 repository. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 The application is developed by Chris Cannam for SoundSoftware.ac.uk, | |
| 22 based on the HgExplorer application by Jari Korhonen, and is published | |
| 23 under the GPL. See the file COPYING for license details. | |

| 26 Building EasyMercurial | |
| 27 ====================== | |
| 28 | |
| 29 EasyMercurial is written in C++ using the Qt5 toolkit. On most | |
| 30 platforms, you can build it by running "qmake" followed by "make". | |
| 31 | |
| 32 | |
| 33 To run EasyMercurial | |
| 34 ==================== | |
| 35 | |
| 36 Just run the EasyMercurial application that is produced by the build. | |
| 37 You will also need to have Mercurial installed (version 1.7 or newer). | |
| 38 If you want to use the EasyHg authentication extension, you will also | |
| 39 need PyQt5 (the Python bindings for Qt5); you may also wish to install | |
| 40 the python-crypto library for the password store. Finally, an | |
| 41 external diff/merge utility is required, typically kdiff3. | |
