During the tests, the build directory size increases above the Estimated disk space required, even when considering the additional values, due to temporary test files. Install Mercurial by running the following command (as root): make PREFIX=/usr install-bin If you built the documentation, install it by running the following command (as root): make PREFIX=/usr install-doc After installed, two very quick and simple tests should run correctly. First one needs some configuration: cat >> ~/.hgrc << "EOF" [ui] username = <user_name> <your@mail> EOF where you must replace <user_name> and <your@mail> (mail is optional and can be omitted). With the user identity defined, run hg debuginstall and several lines will be displayed, the last one reading "no problems detected". Another quick and simple test is just hg, which should output basic commands that can be used with hg. /etc/mercurial/hgrc /etc/mercurial/hgrc If you have installed the and you want Mercurial to use them, as the root user: install -v -d -m755 /etc/mercurial && cat > /etc/mercurial/hgrc << "EOF" [web] cacerts = /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt EOF Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories hg several under /usr/lib/python&python2-majorver;/site-packages/mercurial /etc/mercurial, /usr/lib/python&python2-majorver;/site-packages/hgext and /usr/lib/python&python2-majorver;/site-packages/mercurial Short Descriptions hg is the program file for mercurial. hg
