TortoiseSVN is an Apache ™ Subversion (SVN) ® client, implemented as a Windows shell extension. It's intuitive and easy to use, since it doesn't require the Subversion command line client to run. And it is free to use, even in a commercial environment.

I want to install a SVN server on a Windows 7 64 bit machine (just for me).

I used Slik SVN and set up a service with:

On the client side (a Windows 7 machine), we will install and use TortoiseSVN (which is based on Apache Subversion) as an interface to SVN. Our Testing Environment Server - CentOS 7 IP Address - 192.168.0.100 Client - Windows 7 Step 1 – Installing and Configuring SVN on Linux. Apt-get is an amazing package manager, but often the names of packages aren't exactly named the way you would expect. (Obviously not the fault of apt-get) for example, downloading java isn't apt-get install java. As for your issue, the name of the svn package in apt-get is subversion. Apt-get install subversion. Newer versions of TortoiseSVN contain a console svn client, but by default the corresponding option is not checked. The svn.exe executable is not standalone and it depends on some other files in the distribution but this should not be a problem in most cases. The first thing we'll do is download the latest Subversion Windows binary installer. At the time of writing, that's 1.46. I recommend overriding the default install path and going with something shorter: c:svn Note that the installer adds c:svnbin to your path, so you can launch a command prompt and start working with it immediately. Let's create our first source repository, which is effectively a system path.

This is listed in the list of services, but can not be started:

Any idea why this does not work?

You state that you want to install a SVN server just for yourself, i.e. you are going to be the only user of the system. So what's the purpose of installing a SVN server in this case?

Did you decide to setup svnserve because you consider this as the easiest way to make your repositories accessible for clients? If you did, then you've missed the easier way to access your repositories:

  • You can use direct repository access (on local disk). I.e. you can access a repository with the URL: file:///C:RepositoriesMyProject1 or file:///C:RepositoriesMyProject1trunkrepo-folder.

  • If you need to create a clean repository you may use a command-line:

    svnadmin create C:RepositoriesMyProject1

You don't need a svnserve or Apache HTTP Server for that.

I can agree that Subversion bundles like VisualSVN Server make it much easier to maintain your repositories and understand why one installs it on a laptop for personal use and even uses HTTPS access locally. However I completely don't understand why would anyone want to setup a personal svnserve-based SVN server on Windows! There is no real use case for that, IMHO. Better consider a dedicated SVN package or use direct file:// access.

From Svnserve Based Server page of TortoseSVN docs, 'Run svnserve as a Service' chapter. Your path have space in name

If any of the paths include spaces, you have to use (escaped) quotes around the path, like this:

Is there a command-line based version of svn for Windows? I know I can get TortoiseSVN, but that just doesn't work for me.

Newer versions of TortoiseSVN contain a console svn client, but by default the corresponding option is not checked.

The svn.exe executable is not standalone and it depends on some other files in the distribution but this should not be a problem in most cases.

Once installed you might need to add the folder containing svn.exe to the system PATH as described here so that it is available in your console. To check if it was already added by the installer open a new console and type echo %PATH%. Use set on its own to see all environmental variables.

The subversion client itself is available on Windows. See here for certified binaries from CollabNet.

CollabNet Subversion Command-Line Client v1.6.9 (for Windows)

This installer only includes the command-line client and an auto-update component.

Even though I can't understand it's possible not to love Tortoise! :)

You can get SVN command-line tools with TortoiseSVN 1.7 or later or get a 6.5mb standalone package from VisualSVN. Brave fencer musashi iso.

Starting with TortoiseSVN 1.7, its installer provides you with an option to install the command-line tools.

It also makes sense to check the Apache Subversion 'Binary Packages' page. xD

As Damian noted here Command line subversion client for Windows Vista 64bits TortoiseSVN has command line tools that are unchecked by default during installation.

Install MSYS2, it has svn in its repository (besides lots of other Unix goodies). MSYS2 installs without Windows Admin rights.

The tools can be used from cmd, too:
