These instructions are intended for someone setting up mercurial on their lava account using CShell. Only a few things will differ if you happen to have root or you use a different shell.

1. Go to the project home page
2. Select Download and Build Mercurial
3. Grab the latest source-code tarball (.95 as of Feb. 27th)
4. Move that to somewhere that you've got a decent amount of space (/export/home/ for example)
5. tar -xzvf it.
6. Change to the mercurial directory
7. make install-home-bin (I say -bin because we don't have the libraries to build the documentation)
8. setenv PYTHONPATH $HOME/lib/python (lib may need to be replaced by lib64 if you're on a 64 bit machine)
9. set path=($HOME/bin $path)
10. hg debuginstall

If the final command doesn't spew errors everywhere, congratulations, you're up and running with mercurial.
