I have a hosting package where I have a private Tomcat and I run Hudson. I wanted to start using Mercurial and BitBucket (which is fantastic btw), my problem is that Hudson or the Mercurial plugin doesn’t bundle Mercurial in the same way it does Subversion and you have to point your plugin to your Mercurial install.
My hosting doesn’t have Mercurial installed so I tried (with limited linux skills) to install it myself.
I soon found out that I need run the install as root which I obviously don’t have. Even if I run it without root it still tries to write to directories which have only root access.
Am I being missing something or does it sound like I won’t be able to install it without root permissions?
Thanks,
Shawn
Perhaps this guide to installing mercurial on a web host will help.
