Set up Mercurial

Make sure that Mercurial is installed on your computer.

Configure Mercurial executable

  1. Press CtrlAlt0S to open the IDE settings and then select Version Control | Mercurial.

  2. In the Path to Mercurial executable field, specify the path to hg executable.

    If you followed the standard installation procedure, the default location is /Applications/TortoiseHg.app/Contents/MacOS/hg or /usr/local/bin for Linux and macOS and /Program Files/TortoiseHG for Windows.

    It is recommended that you add the path to the Mercurial executable file to the PATH variable. In this case, you can specify only the executable name, the full path to the executable location is not required.

  3. Click Test to make sure the path is specified correctly. Apply the changes and close the dialog.

    Alternatively, go to Git | Enable Version Control Integration.

  2. In the Enable Version Control Integration dialog that opens, select Mercurial.

  3. Click OK to apply the changes.
