Installation

• create new virtualenv and activate it - highly recommend that you use separate virtual-env for whole application
• download hg app from default (not demo) branch from bitbucket and run 'python setup.py install' this will install all required dependencies needed
• run paster setup-app production.ini it should create all needed tables and an admin account.
• remember that the given path for mercurial repositories must be write accessible for the application
• run paster serve development.ini - or you can use manage-hg_app script. the app should be available at the 127.0.0.1:5000
• use admin account you created to login.
• default permissions on each repository is read, and owner is admin. So remember to update those.
