Mercurial is a free, distributed source control management tool that is used by developers to keep track of changes made to their codebase. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Mercurial on Arch Linux.
Before installing any new package, it is a good practice to update your pacman repository. By doing this, you can ensure that you are getting the latest packages available.
$ sudo pacman -Syu
Run the following command to install Mercurial.
$ sudo pacman -S mercurial
This command will install Mercurial and its dependencies.
After the installation is complete, you can verify if Mercurial is installed on your machine by running the following command:
$ hg --version
This command will show you the version of Mercurial installed on your Arch Linux machine.
TortoiseHg is a GUI tool that makes it easier for users to work with Mercurial repositories. To install TortoiseHg, run the following command:
$ sudo pacman -S tortoisehg
This command will install TortoiseHg and its dependencies. Once installed, you can start TortoiseHg by running the following command:
$ thg
Now you know how to install Mercurial on Arch Linux. With Mercurial, you can easily manage your source code and keep track of all changes made to it. Additionally, with TortoiseHg, you can work with Mercurial repositories in a user-friendly and intuitive way.
