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> <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>For documentation, please visit the <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">Mercurial web site</a>.</p> <p>By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>. The Mercurial command is called <tt>hg.exe</tt>.</p> <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> <h1>Configuration notes</h1> <p>The default editor for commit messages is 'notepad'. You can set the EDITOR (or HGEDITOR) environment variable to specify your preference or set it in mercurial.ini:</p> <pre> [ui] editor = whatever </pre> <h1>Reporting problems</h1> <p>Before you report any problems, please consult the <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">Mercurial web site</a> and see if your question is already in our list of <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/FAQ">Frequently Answered Questions</a> (the "FAQ"). <p>If you cannot find an answer to your question, please feel free to send mail to the Mercurial mailing list, at <a href="mailto:mercurial@selenic.com">mercurial@selenic.com</a>. <b>Remember</b>, the more useful information you include in your report, the easier it will be for us to help you!</p> <p>If you are IRC-savvy, that's usually the fastest way to get help.
