  <h1 id="installation">Installation</h1>
<p>Installing <code>hg-prompt</code> requires <a href="http://python.org/">Python</a> 2.5+ and (obviously) Mercurial.</p>
<p>First, clone the repository:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="gp">$</span> hg clone http://bitbucket.org/sjl/hg-prompt/
</pre></div>


<p>Edit the <code>[extensions]</code> section in your <code>~/.hgrc</code> file:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="k">[extensions]</span>
<span class="na">prompt</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">(path to)/hg-prompt/prompt.py</span>
</pre></div>


<p>Make sure everything is working:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="gp">$</span> hg prompt <span class="s1">&#39;test&#39;</span>
<span class="go">test</span>
</pre></div>


<p>Take a look at the <a href="/hg-prompt/quickstart/">Quick Start</a> guide to learn how to put some useful information into your shell prompt.</p>
