<p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p> | ||||
<p>Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from | ||||
the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a | ||||
href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).</p> | ||||
|
r2091 | |||
<p><div class="indented"><i>Note: the standard <a | ||||
href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> msys startup script uses | ||||
rxvt which has problems setting up standard input and output. | ||||
Running bash directly works correctly.</i></div> | ||||

<p>By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>. The | ||||
Mercurial command is called <tt>hg.exe</tt>. To run this | ||||
command, the install directory must be in your search path.</p> | ||||
<h2>Setting your search path temporarily</h2> | ||||
<p>To set your search path temporarily, type the following into a | ||||
command prompt window:</p> | ||||
<pre> | ||||
set PATH=C:\Mercurial;%PATH% | ||||
</pre> | ||||
<h2>Setting your search path permanently</h2> | ||||
<p>To set your search path permanently, perform the following | ||||
steps. These instructions are for Windows NT, 2000 and XP.</p> | ||||
<ol> | ||||
<li>Open the Control Panel. Under Windows XP, select the | ||||
"Classic View".</li> | ||||
<li>Double-click on the "System" control panel.</li> | ||||
<li>Click on the "Advanced" tab.</li> | ||||
<li>Click on "Environment Variables". You'll find this near the | ||||
bottom of the window.</li> | ||||
<li>Under "System variables", you will see "Path". Double-click | ||||
it.</li> | ||||
<li>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. <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>).</li> | ||||
<li>Click on the various "OK" buttons until you've completely | ||||
exited from the System control panel.</li> | ||||
<li>Log out and log back in, or restart your system.</li> | ||||
<li>The next time you run the Windows command prompt, you will be | ||||
able to run the <tt>hg</tt> command without any special | ||||
help.</li> | ||||
</ol> | ||||
<h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1> | ||||
<p>The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is to | ||||
just type the following at the command prompt:</p> | ||||
<pre> | ||||
hg | ||||
</pre> | ||||
<p>This command should print a useful help message. If it does, | ||||
other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.</p> | ||||
