Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!
+ +Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from + the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a MinGW shell).
+ +For documentation, please visit the Mercurial web + site.
+ +By default, Mercurial installs to C:\Mercurial. The + Mercurial command is called hg.exe. To run this + command, the install directory must be in your search path.
+ +To set your search path temporarily, type the following into a + command prompt window:
+ ++set PATH=C:\Mercurial;%PATH% ++ +
To set your search path permanently, perform the following + steps. These instructions are for Windows NT, 2000 and XP.
+ +The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is to + just type the following at the command prompt:
+ ++hg ++ +
This command should print a useful help message. If it does, + other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.
+ +Before you report any problems, please consult the Mercurial web site and + see if your question is already in our list of Frequently + Answered Questions (the "FAQ"). + +
If you cannot find an answer to your question, please feel + free to send mail to the Mercurial mailing list, at mercurial@selenic.com. + Remember, the more useful information you include in your + report, the easier it will be for us to help you!
+ +If you are IRC-savvy, that's usually the fastest way to get + help. Go to #mercurial on + irc.freenode.net.
