Mercurial is written in Python with platform independence in mind.
As a result, Mercurial is available on
Microsoft Windows,
GNU/Linux,
MacOS X,
OpenSolaris and others.
You can either download a binary package for the system of your choice or
build it from sources.
# Debian/ubuntu
$ apt-get install mercurial
# Fedora
$ yum install mercurial
# Gentoo
$ emerge mercurial
# OpenSolaris
$ pkg install SUNWmercurial
