Installing EasyMercurial¶

Windows¶

Notes: The current release is always highlighted in bold on the downloads page. You just need the file whose name ends in Setup.exe.

The installer includes the Mercurial executable and the KDiff3 diff/merge application (thanks to bundling mechanisms from the TortoiseHg project). Just install and run.

Mac OS/X¶

Notes: First download and install Mercurial itself, then download EasyMercurial and install by dragging to the Applications folder. The current release is always highlighted in bold on the downloads page.

Although the EasyMercurial distribution is a three-way universal binary for OS/X 10.4 and newer, 10.4 users will need to build their own Mercurial from source (since recent enough versions of Mercurial are no longer distributed for that platform).

Download Location: Mercurial from the Mercurial website, EasyMercurial from our download page

Linux¶

Notes: A 32-bit Linux binary is available which will run on most current Linux distributions -- including 64-bit ones with a suitable compatibility layer. Proper distribution packages are still pending.

First install the prerequisites using your distribution's package manager. These are Mercurial itself, the Qt4 and PyQt4 toolkits, and KDiff3. In Ubuntu the packages you need are: mercurial python-qt4 kdiff3.

Then download the current EasyMercurial Linux binary from the download page; the current release is always highlighted in bold on that page. You just need the file whose name ends in linux-i386.tar.gz.

Unpack that file into a suitable place, and run the EasyMercurial program from it.
