Tried downloading http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wik...BinaryPackages

but can't get anything .

Can anyone tell me where i can get this hg command

At http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wik...BinaryPackages follow the link for "Linux (.rpm)" and you'll see this:

(CentOS 5 and RHEL 5 packages are interchangeable.)

So first you need to setup to access the rpmforge repository. Instructions are here:

https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using

Once you've installed the 'rpmforge-release-xxx' rpm, you can access the rpmforge repository with yum. So you then can do:

Which should give you the required 'hg'.

If you don't want packages/updates coming from rpmforge in the future, you can simply disable that repository. Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo with a text editor, and set

Hope this helps.
