Firsts things first and you’ll need to log on to your server and enter super user mode.

you@yourserver:~$ su

Change directory to /usr/local/src/

Now, you’ll need to download the Subversion packages and some dependencies. These packages will depend on the kind of server you have. Enter the commands one after the other.

Assuming your server is an AMD

root@yourserver:# wget http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/ubuntu/archive/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2_amd64.debroot@yourserver:# wget http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/ubuntu/archive/pool/main/s/subversion/libsvn1_1.5.0dfsg1-4ubuntu2_amd64.deb
root@yourserver:# wget http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/ubuntu/archive/pool/main/n/neon27/libneon27-gnutls_0.28.2-2_amd64.deb
root@yourserver:# dpkg -i subversion_1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
root@yourserver:# dpkg -i libsvn1_1.5.0dfsg1-4ubuntu2_amd64.deb
root@yourserver:# dpkg -i libneon27-gnutls_0.28.2-2_amd64.deb

If your server is an i386, follow these steps

root@yourserver:# wget http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/ubuntu/archive/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
root@yourserver:# wget http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/ubuntu/archive/pool/main/s/subversion/libsvn1_1.5.0dfsg1-4ubuntu2_i386.deb
root@yourserver:# wget http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/ubuntu/archive/pool/main/n/neon27/libneon27-gnutls_0.28.2-2_i386.deb
root@yourserver:# dpkg -i subversion_1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
root@yourserver:# dpkg -i libsvn1_1.5.0dfsg1-4ubuntu2_i386.deb
root@yourserver:# dpkg -i libneon27-gnutls_0.28.2-2_i386.deb

Afterward, enter the final command:

root@yourserver:~# apt-get -f install

Now we need to find out if we got it right.

you@yourserver:~$ svn --version --quiet
1.5.0

That’s it. It’s done.

For more information on Subversion you can check out the book here. It’s free too.

I would really love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you!
