To use Bitbucket, you need to install a DVCS tool on the computer where you write your code. Typically, this computer is a machine physically close to you like your home or work computer. This is your local machine or system. You also might write or deploy code to a remote machine – for example a lab computer or a server in a data center. You may also need a DVCS tool on that machine too. This tutorial refers to the typical case, your local system, but the instructions are the same for both cases.

Bitbucket supports two DVCS tools, Git and Mercurial. These tools run on all modern operating systems. For this tutorial you will only need to install Git. If you are interested in also learning about both Mercurial and Git you can take the Bitbucket with Git and Mercurial.

If you already have these tools installed, skip the instructions and go to the next step in the tutorial.
