Before you install

This is not a stand-alone version of Mercurial.

To use it, you must have the appropriate version of Universal MacPython from www.python.org installed.

You can find more information and download MacPython from here:

After you install

This package installs the hg executable in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin. This directory may not be in your shell's search path. The MacPython installer will have created an entry in .profile for it but if your shell doesn't use .profile you'll need configure it yourself or create a symlink from a directory already in your path.
