| bos@84 | 7 \subsection{Linux} |
| bos@84 | 8 |
| bos@84 | 9 All major Linux distributions provide a prebuilt Mercurial package. |
| bos@84 | 10 Because each Linux distribution has its own packaging tools, policies, |
| bos@84 | 11 and rate of development, it's difficult to give a comprehensive set of |
| bos@84 | 12 instructions on how to install Mercurial binaries, and the version of |
| bos@84 | 13 Mercurial that you will end up with can vary widely. |
| bos@84 | 14 |
| bos@84 | 15 To keep things simple, I will focus on installing Mercurial from the |
| bos@84 | 16 command line under the most popular Linux distributions. Most of |
| bos@84 | 17 these distributions provide graphical package managers that will let |
| bos@84 | 18 you install Mercurial with a single click; the package name to look |
| bos@84 | 19 for is \texttt{mercurial}. |

| bos@84 | 21 \subsubsection{Debian} |
| bos@84 | 22 |
| bos@84 | 23 \begin{codesample2} |
| bos@84 | 24 apt-get install mercurial |
| bos@84 | 25 \end{codesample2} |
| bos@84 | 26 |
| bos@84 | 27 \subsubsection{Fedora Core} |
| bos@84 | 28 |
| bos@84 | 29 \begin{codesample2} |
| bos@84 | 30 yum install mercurial |
| bos@84 | 31 \end{codesample2} |
| bos@84 | 32 |
| bos@84 | 33 \subsubsection{Gentoo} |
| bos@84 | 34 |
| bos@84 | 35 \begin{codesample2} |
| bos@84 | 36 emerge mercurial |
| bos@84 | 37 \end{codesample2} |
| bos@84 | 38 |
| bos@84 | 39 \subsubsection{OpenSUSE} |
| bos@84 | 40 |
| bos@84 | 41 \begin{codesample2} |
| bos@84 | 42 yum install mercurial |
| bos@84 | 43 \end{codesample2} |
| bos@84 | 44 |
| bos@84 | 45 \subsubsection{Ubuntu} |
| bos@84 | 46 |
| bos@84 | 47 \begin{codesample2} |
| bos@84 | 48 apt-get install mercurial |
| bos@84 | 49 \end{codesample2} |
| bos@84 | 50 |
| bos@84 | 51 \subsection{Mac OS X} |
| bos@84 | 52 |
| bos@84 | 53 Lee Cantey publishes an installer of Mercurial for Mac OS~X at |
| bos@84 | 54 \url{http://mercurial.berkwood.com}. This package works on both |
| bos@84 | 55 Intel- and Power-based Macs, but requires you to install Universal |
| bos@84 | 56 Python before you can use it. This is easy to do; simply follow the |
| bos@84 | 57 instructions on Lee's site. |
| bos@84 | 58 |
| bos@84 | 59 \subsection{Solaris} |
| bos@84 | 60 |
| bos@84 | 61 XXX. |
| bos@84 | 62 |
| bos@84 | 63 \subsection{Windows} |
| bos@84 | 64 |
| bos@84 | 65 Lee Cantey publishes an installer of Mercurial for Windows at |
| bos@84 | 66 \url{http://mercurial.berkwood.com}. This package has no external |
| bos@84 | 67 dependencies; it ``just works''. |
| bos@84 | 68 |
| bos@84 | 69 \begin{note} |
| bos@84 | 70 The Windows version of Mercurial does not automatically convert line |
| bos@84 | 71 endings between Windows and Unix styles. If you want to share work |
| bos@84 | 72 with Unix users, you must do a little additional configuration |
| bos@84 | 73 work. XXX Flesh this out. |
