Installing EasyMercurial

Windows

Download the latest EasyMercurial installer release from the download page.

The current release is always highlighted in bold on that 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

First download Mercurial itself from the Mercurial website and install that using its installer.

Then download the current EasyMercurial .dmg file from our download page and install EasyMercurial by dragging to the Applications folder.

The current release is always highlighted in bold on that page.

Note: 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 are no longer distributed for that platform.

Linux

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 .tar.gz file 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.
