Though mercurial-server is currently targeted at Debian-based systems such as Ubuntu, other users have reported success getting it running on other Unix-based systems such as Red Hat. Running it on a non-Unix system such as Windows is not supported. You will need root privileges to install it. 

The best way to install mercurial-server is using your package management system.  However, there is some provision for installing it directly.  On Debian based systems such as Ubuntu, use the command

    sudo make setup-adduser

On Red Hat and possibly other variants of Unix, try

    sudo make setup-useradd

See doc/manual.docbook for the rest of the documentation.
