The Sakai Community uses Apache Subversion (SVN) as its source control management (SCM) system. We recommend SVN version 1.6.5+. You can obtain binary packages for a variety of operating systems (Mac, Windows and several flavors of Unix). If you plan on checking out Sakai source from our SVN repository you will need to install a Subversion client. For a listing see:
If no binaries are available for your platform, get the source and use the configuration options --with-ssl and --with-libs.
Extract the distribution archive into your installation directory of choice, e.g. /opt/subversion/. Confirm that you have installed the correct version of SVN by issuing svn --version from the command line.
svn --version
