To install svn in linux and make it fully working , I found it really tough and it has taken my lots of time. I am thankful to Sanjay, who helped me in this and without him it won\u2019t be possible.While installing this you will miss a small thing and you got stuck.But this is not at all tough like open source it\u2019s really very easy.<\/p>\n
Why I have choosed this topic to write is that, those who are using it first time will need some time to get full of subversion.<\/p>\n
Now the latest version of svn is 1.6.9.<\/p>\n
To install svn first you need svn tar file. Which can be downloaded easily from here or you can run these commands (depending on your required version).<\/strong><\/p>\n wget http:\/\/subversion.tigris.org\/downloads\/subversion-1.6.9.tar.gz<\/p>\n wget http:\/\/subversion.tigris.org\/downloads\/subversion_deps-1.6.9.tar.gz (It contains the library required by svn)<\/p>\n This you can download any where, Here I am creating a folder svn inside \/usr\/local directory.(\/usr\/local\/softwares\/svn\/).(So it will be easy for me to specify paths and you to understand).<\/p>\n To start the installation process first untar this two file.<\/strong><\/p>\n tar -xvzf subversion-1.6.9.tar.gz<\/p>\n tar -xvzf subversion_deps-1.6.9.tar.gz (After untar you won\u2019t find any particular folder named subversion_deps-1.6.9. Don\u2019t worry for that it is keeping all the libraries files inside subversion-1.6.9)<\/p>\n Now have to configure it, but before that we have to check whether our system is having all the dependies or not, like APR(Apache Portable Runtime) and APR utility.<\/strong><\/p>\n If it\u2019s not there then we can get it from here,<\/p>\n apr-1.2.12.tar.gz<\/p>\n apr-util-1.2.12.tar.gz<\/p>\n once downloaded you can start configuring it.<\/strong><\/p>\n tar -xvzf apr-1.2.12.tar.gz<\/p>\n cd apr-1.2.12<\/p>\n .\/buildconf<\/p>\n .\/configure<\/p>\n make<\/p>\n The apr util directory requires apr directory, so we need to specify path for that.<\/strong><\/p>\n tar -xvzf apr-util-1.2.12.tar.gz<\/p>\n cd apr-util-1.2.12<\/p>\n .\/buildconf \u2013with-apr=\/path to apr directory (\/usr\/local\/sofwares\/svn\/apr-1.2.12)<\/p>\n .\/configure \u2013with-apr=\/path to apr directory (\/usr\/local\/sofwares\/svn\/apr-1.2.12)<\/p>\n make<\/p>\n The other directories we have to check before installation are,<\/p>\n autoconf 2.50 or newer (autoconf \u2013version)<\/p>\n libtool 1.4 or newer (this you can find inside subversion-1.6.9 folder)<\/p>\n Neon Library 0.25.x or 0.26.x (inside subversion-1.6.9 folder)<\/p>\n Berkely DataBase (If it\u2019s not there you have to install it.)<\/p>\n Download the file, db-4.6.21.tar.gz .<\/p>\n Apache web server greater then 2.0.49 (httpd -version)<\/p>\n zlib (inside subversion-1.6.9 folder)<\/p>\n After checking all this, we can start installation process,<\/p>\n cd subversion-1.6.9<\/p>\n .\/autogen.sh<\/p>\n .\/configure \u2013with-berkelay-db=\/usr\/local\/softwares\/svn\/db-4.6.21 (path of berkelay data base)<\/p>\n make<\/p>\n make install<\/p>\n Once we have finished that we need to map svn with apache.<\/p>\n Before that we have to check whether mod_dav_svn and mod_authz_svn modules are present or not,if not then install it.<\/p>\n yum install mod_dav_svn<\/p>\n and add this in \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf file<\/p>\n LoadModule dav_svn_module modules\/mod_dav_svn.so<\/p>\n LoadModule authz_svn_module modules\/mod_authz_svn.so<\/p>\n Make sure you will add these lines after LoadModule dav_module modules\/mod_dav.so.<\/p>\n Now create one repository with svnadmin command.Run this command inside your subversion folder.<\/p>\n svnadmin create repos<\/p>\n after that you can check with,<\/p>\n ls repos<\/p>\n conf dav db format hooks locks README.txt<\/p>\n This full path you have to specify in SVNPath.<\/p>\n Then at the end of the httpd.conf file you have to add<\/p>\n #for svn path<\/p>\n DAV svn<\/p>\n SVNPath \/usr\/local\/softwares\/svn\/subversion-1.6.9\/repos<\/p>\n now restart ur apache.<\/p>\n For security purpose to give authentication to the user we have to create authentication file with the command,<\/strong><\/p>\n htpasswd -cm \/etc\/svn-auth-file user_name (test)<\/p>\n New password : test123<\/p>\n Re-Type passwd : test123<\/p>\n And to specify which access you want to give the user, create svn-access-file inside \/etc.<\/p>\n Inside this file add code as,<\/p>\n [\/]<\/p>\n * = rw<\/p>\n This will give authentication to every user specified in Require user inside location.<\/p>\n You can specify this inside httpd.conf file as,<\/strong><\/p>\n DAV svn<\/p>\n SVNPath \/usr\/local\/softwares\/svn\/subversion-1.6.9\/repos<\/p>\n AuthzSVNAccessFile \/etc\/svn-access-file<\/p>\n AuthType Basic<\/p>\n AuthName \u201cSubversion repository\u201d<\/p>\n AuthUserFile \/etc\/svn-auth-file<\/p>\n Require user user_name<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Now you are ready to import files in the repository, with the following command.<\/strong><\/p>\n svn import -m \u201cInitial import.\u201d path(from where you want to import file) file:\/\/\/usr\/local\/softwares\/svn\/subversion-1.6.9\/repos\/(repository path)<\/p>\n after running this command don\u2019t worry it is not goin to display any thing inside repos folder. To check that you can run it in the browser.<\/p>\n http:\/\/localhost(you have to give your domain name)\/svn\/repos<\/p>\n Now you are ready to checkout the files with any svn client. For linux user smartsvn is best.<\/p>\n After doin this you can start ur smartsvn client and can follow these steps,<\/p>\n check out project from repository -> manage -> add -> enter svn url<\/p>\n enter ur url here http:\/\/localhost\/svn\/repos<\/p>\n enter ->ok<\/p>\n server name and repository path it will take automatically. click next, choose user radio button and give user name and password.<\/p>\n follow the steps to fetch the files.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n To install smartsvn, first get the smartsvn tar file.<\/strong><\/p>\n untar the file, with the command<\/p>\n tar -xvzf smartsvn-version.gz<\/p>\n for smartsvn first check the correct version of java is available or not, with<\/p>\n java -version command.If it is coming like this then you can proceed.<\/p>\n java version \u201c1.5.0_14?<\/p>\n Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_14-b03)<\/p>\n Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_14-b03, mixed mode)<\/p>\n Sometimes java will be installed but not the JRE. In that case simply re-install java.<\/p>\n Can install the latest version of java with rpm bin file.<\/p>\n jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586-rpm.bin<\/p>\n .\/jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586-rpm.bin<\/p>\n go through the license and say yes.<\/p>\n It will installed in \/usr\/java\/<\/p>\n Now have to make chnages in .bash_profile file.<\/p>\n cd \/root<\/p>\n vi .bash_profile<\/p>\n give JAVA_HOME path.<\/p>\n JAVA_HOME = \/usr\/java\/jdk1.5.0_14<\/p>\n Then compile it with the command,<\/strong><\/p>\n source .bash_profile<\/p>\n then again check with java version.<\/p>\n Now you are ready to utilise the full feature of subversion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To install svn in linux and make it fully working , I found it really tough and it has taken my lots of time.
