This might be an extremely stupid question, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to download this:

http://code.google.com/p/xmppframework/source/browse/#hg%253Fstate%253Dclosed

There is nothing under the "downloads" tab. And when I try to "clone" it using my terminal it says "HG command not found".

Any ideas??

hg is the executable for Mercurial, you're going to need to download and install Mercurial.

Once you have it installed you can use it to clone the project:

hg clone https://xmppframework.googlecode.com/hg/ xmppframework
