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>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>. 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> <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.
