Replying to an old post, but in case anyone is reading them, this link is no longer working. A good Mercurial Tutorial can be found here: http://hginit.com/

Awesome. Thank you. By the way, while I was puttering around, I decided to try running the full script at the bottom of the article and that seemed to complete everything with no issues and without the long wait. Not sure why (perhaps most of the work was completed the first time through). All good now. Thanks for the quick response.

Thanks for all the effort setting up this tutorial. You guys are heros. I ran into an issue on my iMac running High Sierra (10.13.1). (Xcode 9.1 (9B55) installed but not used. From the terminal, after I proceeded with this step:

    brew tap homebrew/dupes/; brew install homebrew/versions/gcc5

I did receive the following error, though suspect it may not be a big deal:

    Error: Invalid tap name 'homebrew/dupes/'

The script went along fine, but then at this step:

    Hunk #1 succeeded at 228 with fuzz 2 (offset 12 lines).
    ==> ../configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin17.2.0 --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc@5/5.5.0 --libdir=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc@5/5.5.0/lib/gcc/5 --enable-la
    ==> make bootstrap

everything seemed kind of stalled. The titlebar of my Terminal window was looping through multiple commands, but this kept going for like 10+ minutes. I wasn't sure if this was normal behavior or if it was stuck in some loop. I can post a screen video grab if needed. I ended up stopping all the processes and killing them. I read on a prior post here that someone said something took 37 minutes to complete, so perhaps it wasn't looping but I just need to wait for it to complete? If so, it would be useful to update the install instructions and let folks know that it may take a while to complete this step. Any confirmation would be helpful. Thanks.
