1. Open the terminal and Type "apt-get install subversion"

 

2. Create a directory that will hold our repository/repositories.

    mkdir -p /var/lib/svn

 

3. Create a repository for any project called "myproject" inside the /var/lib/svn directory,as follows.

     svnadmin create /var/lib/svn/myproject

 

Now we configured the repository successfully.

 

 

1. Importing files into the repository.

    svn import /home/folder/my_project file://localhost/var/lib/svn/myproject

 

2. Checkouts can be done as follows:

    svn co file://localhost/var/lib/svn/myproject /home/folder/somedir

 

   Using The http:// Protocol

 

1. For the http:// protocol, we need to configure WebDAV on an Apache2 server. Therefore we install Apache2 and the Apache2 SVN     module now:

    apt-get install apache2 libapache2-svn

 

2. Configure the Apache2 SVN module by editing the file /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf:

    vi /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf

 

   Please add the following pice of code at end of the file.

  

  <Location /svn>

   DAV svn

   SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn

   AuthType Basic

   AuthName "Subversion Repository"

   AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd

   <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>

     Require valid-user

   </LimitExcept>

  </Location>

 

3. Restart Apache

   /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

 

4. Because we will read and write to our repositories as the Apache user (www-data) and group (www-data) from now on, we must change the owner and group of /var/lib/svn and its subdiretories to the            Apache user and group now: 

    chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/svn

 

5. Create the password file /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd that contains all users that will have access to SVN

    htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd username

 

6. Checkout as follows using the http:// protocol.

     svn co --username username http://localhost/svn/myproject /home/folder/somedir

 

7.You can checkout projects from repository using "Check out Projcts from SVN" option in iTest.Then specify the URL of the SVN repository to checkout the projects.
