 <h2>Building Subversion</h2>

 <p>If you want to build Subversion from a source release:</p>

 <ol>

    <li><p>Download the latest tarball distribution from the <a
    href="http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=260"
    >Source Releases Area</a>.<br />
    Windows users should download <tt>.zip</tt> files.  For all other operating
    systems, download <tt>.tar.gz</tt> or <tt>.tar.bz2</tt> files.</p></li>

    <li><p>Build and install it according to the instructions in the
    <a href="http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/INSTALL">INSTALL</a>
    file in the top level of the distribution.  You will end up with a
    'svn' binary in the subversion/clients/cmdline/ directory (or
    installed in /usr/local/bin/, if you ran 'make install'.)</p></li>

 </ol>

 <p>Now you have the latest released version of Subversion installed.
 Read the <a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com">Subversion Book</a> to
 learn how to use Subversion, and to see how it differs from CVS.</p>

 <p>If you want stability, you can stop here, and just upgrade as new
 releases come out.  If you prefer to stay current with Subversion
 development, then use your newly-installed Subversion client to check
 out a working copy of the master sources:</p>

 <pre>
    $ svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk subversion
 </pre>

 <p>That will get you a new working copy directory named
 <code>subversion/</code>, containing the latest sources.  (If you're
 behind a proxy or have problems with the checkout, see the <a
 href="faq.html#proxy">proxy faq</a>.)  Read the <a
 href="http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/INSTALL">INSTALL</a> file
 for instructions on building in the working copy, which differs
 slightly from building a released tarball.</p>

 <p>See the <a
 href="http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html">FAQ</a> for known issues
 and their workarounds; see the <a
 href="http://subversion.tigris.org/project_issues.html">Issue
 Tracker</a> for a complete list of known bugs, and instructions on
 filing new bugs.</p>
