Hello, The official mercurial website has installer packages for the Mac. On the actual downloads page it has different versions for which version of MacOSX you are running. Make sure you choose your correct version of MacOSX as it relies on the python version included in MacOSX and it is different for different versions of MacOSX (eg. in Lion it is python 2.7 but in snow leopard it is python2.6). Here is a direct link to the downloads page for mercurial http://mercurial.selenic.com/downloads/ Michael Whapples On 23 Jul 2011, at 12:28, John J.
