Get Subversion!

Subversion packages exist for a number of different operating systems. Remember, once you have it installed, most of your questions can be answered by reading the Subversion Book.

Subversion versions up to and including 1.0.4 have an exploitable bug in the parsing of the svn protocol.. All users are advised to upgrade to 1.0.5.

Note: binary packages are usually available about a week after Subversion source releases. If you're looking for the latest Subversion binaries, you might not yet find them below. In this case, we recommend either grabbing the latest source release, or checking back for binary packages a bit later.

Source Code

The latest source release can be found in this directory, in the file-sharing area of the Subversion website. Be sure to read the general instructions for building from the source tarball, and the specific instructions within the source code itself.

If you want a pretty Win32 GUI, TortoiseSVN integrates nicely with the Windows Explorer. Note: TortoiseSVN is a separate project. Please post questions and problems to the TortoiseSVN project's own mailing lists., not Subversion's mailing lists.
