SVN is now installed on your server.

Configuring SVN on the Server

Next, you need to configure SVN on the server. Create a repository using the following command:

svnadmin create /path/to/repository

Then, configure repository access for users:

vi /path/to/repository/conf/svnserve.conf

[general]

anon-access = read

auth-access = write

password-db = passwd

Save the changes and create a password file:

vi /path/to/repository/conf/passwd

username = password

SVN is now configured on the server and ready to use. You can start working on the project with the command:

svn checkout svn://your_server/path/to/repository
