<para><application>Subversion</application> is a version control
system that is designed to be a compelling replacement for
<application>CVS</application> in the open source community. It
extends and enhances <application>CVS</application>' feature set,
while maintaining a similar interface for those already familiar with
<application>CVS</application>. These instructions install the client
and server software used to manipulate a
<application>Subversion</application> repository. Creation of a repository
is covered at <xref linkend="svnserver"/>.</para>

<title>Installation of Subversion</title>
<para>Install <application>Subversion</application> by running the following
commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>If you have <application>Apache</application> installed, pass
the <option>--with-apr=/usr</option> and <option>--with-apr-util=/usr</option>
switches to the <command>configure</command> script. Otherwise,
<application>Subversion</application> will overwrite APR and APR-utils
from the <application>Apache</application> installation with its own
files. You may also need to pass <option>--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs</option>
as <command>apxs</command> might not be in an unprivileged user's
<envar>PATH</envar> and won't be properly discovered.</para>
</note>
<para>If you passed the <option>--enable-javahl</option> parameter to
<command>configure</command> and wish to build the
<application>JAVA</application> <application>Subversion</application>
bindings, issue the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput>make javahl</userinput></screen>
<para>If you passed the <option>--with-swig</option> parameter to
<command>configure</command> and wish to build the
<application>SWIG</application> <application>Perl</application> and
<application>Python</application> <application>Subversion</application>
bindings, issue the following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>make swig-pl &amp;&amp;
make swig-py</userinput></screen>
<para>The <application>Ruby</application> bindings are a recent
development, and are only partially implemented. The
<application>Ruby</application> bindings API may change incompatibly as
development proceeds. They currently require
<application>SWIG</application> 1.3.24 exactly &ndash; neither later nor
earlier will work.</para>
<para>To test the results of the <application>Subversion</application>
build, issue: <command>make check</command>. This will take quite a long
time.</para>
<para>To test the results of the bindings builds, issue either or both
of: <command>make check-javahl</command> and
<command>make check-swig-pl</command>.</para>
<para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>
