Mercurial version 0.7 for Windows
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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).
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Setting your search path temporarily
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To set your search path temporarily, type the following into a command
|
||||
prompt window:
|
||||
|
||||
set PATH=C:\Mercurial;%PATH%
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Setting your search path permanently
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To set your search path permanently, perform the following steps.
|
||||
These instructions are for Windows NT, 2000 and XP.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the Control Panel. Under Windows XP, select the "Classic
|
||||
View".
|
||||
|
||||
2. Enter the "System" control panel.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click on "Advanced".
|
||||
|
||||
4. Click on "Environment Variables".
|
||||
|
||||
5. Under "System variables", you will see "Path". Double-click it.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Edit "Variable value". Each path element is separated by a
|
||||
semicolon (";") character. Append a semicolon to the end of the
|
||||
list, followed by the path where you installed Mercurial
|
||||
(e.g. C:\Mercurial).
|
||||
|
||||
7. Click on the various "OK" buttons until you're back up to the top
|
||||
level.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Log out and log back in, or restart your system.
|
||||
|
||||
9. The next time you run the Windows command prompt, you will be able
|
||||
to run hg.exe.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Testing Mercurial
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is to
|
||||
just type the following at the command prompt:
|
||||
|
||||
hg
|
||||
|
||||
It should print a help message. If it does, it should work fine for
|
||||
you.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
