Attachment: t.txt

I obtained the command
wget -O bootstrap.py https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py && python bootstrap.py

from the web page
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Linux_Prerequisites


I ran the command and got a failure.

I am using debian 9.5  .

I am attaching the output.

I expected the bootstrap to work, per the above web page

Comment 1

The error messages are clear:

> You do not have Mercurial installed

Then you chose to not install Mercurial. There is no bug here.

Comment 2

It could be worded more clearly.

It suggested option 3 as a valid option.

I would have found the following better.


Choice:3
Not installing Mercurial.
Your version of Python (2.7.13) is new enough.
Your version of Rust (1.30.0) is new enough.
Rust supports x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu targets.

Since you are not installing Mercurial, the bootstrap has
been aborted.

I will try again using option 1 and see if Stylo is obtained
by that route.
