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.

Just run 'fink install svn-ssl' or 'fink install svn-client-ssl' (if you only need the client).

Note that the svn Fink package is still in the unstable tree. To enable it, please read the Fink FAQ. Also remember to run 'fink selfupdate-cvs' often to get the latest package descriptions.

Win32

Maintainer: Branko Cibej

The latest command-line binaries and libraries for Windows can be found in this directory of the file-sharing area. The packages are ".zip" files.

Maintainer: Jostein Andersen

The same command-line binaries and libraries, but packaged within a friendly Installer program, are in the same directory of the file-sharing area, but end with "-setup.exe".

Maintainer: Steve King

If you want a pretty Win32 GUI, TortoiseSVN integrates nicely with the Windows Explorer.
