+ The hardest part about installing SVK is perhaps getting Subversion compiled with Perl bindings.  As of subversion-1.2.3 it is possible to use swig-1.3.25.  For versions of Subversion from 1.1.4 though 1.2.1 use swig-1.3.24.  For versions earlier than 1.1.3 use swig version 1.3.21 or 1.3.19.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ == !FreeBSD
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ As of 2004-03-17, devel/svk/ is now part of the !FreeBSD ports ( http://www.freshports.org/devel/svk/ ). So you can just cvsup and install it via the ports tree, and it will Just Work.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ == !OpenBSD
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ For 3.6 -current or later, devel/svk is part of the OpenBSD ports (
+ 
+ http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/devel/svk/ ). Update and install it via
+ 
+ the ports tree.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ == !NetBSD
+ 
+ devel/svk exists in pkgsrc ( http://www.pkgsrc.org/ ), both stable and HEAD.
+ 
+   
+ 
+ == Debian and Ubuntu
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ For Debian Sarge, Ubuntu Breezy or later, simply run
+ 
+ 
+ 
+  % apt-get install svk
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ For Woody, you'll have to do a bit more gym: see InstallingOnDebianWoody. But it's well worth it :-)
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ Svk is in the 'universe' repository on Ubuntu.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ For Ubuntu Hoary, see http://web.wt.net/~volley/svk-installation.html
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ == Fedora Core 3
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ Using yum install:
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ * subversion
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ * subversion-perl
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ Download the svk source and untar it.  If CPAN is configured (or after it's been configured), perl Makefile.PL should download and install the perl requirements to complete the compile.  If the make does not install the modules, they must be installed "by hand" using the CPAN console and performing an "install <module>" until all the dependancies are installed.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ Typical perl dependencies are:
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ * Algorithm-Annotate
+ 
+ * Algorithm-Diff
+ 
+ * Class-Accessor
+ 
+ * Class-Autouse
+ 
+ * Clone
+ 
+ * Compress-Zlib
+ 
+ * Data-Hierarchy
+ 
+ * Data-UUID
+ 
+ * DateManip
+ 
+ * File-chdir
+ 
+ * File-Type
+ 
+ * Font-AFM
+ 
+ * FreezeThaw
+ 
+ * HTML-Format
+ 
+ * HTML-Parser
+ 
+ * HTML-Tagset
+ 
+ * HTML-Tree
+ 
+ * IO-Digest
+ 
+ * IO-Pager
+ 
+ * IPC-Run3
+ 
+ * Locale-Maketext-Lexicon
+ 
+ * Locale-Maketext-Simple
+ 
+ * PerlIO-eol
+ 
+ * PerlIO-via-dynamic
+ 
+ * PerlIO-via-symlink
+ 
+ * Pod-Escapes
+ 
+ * Pod-Simple
+ 
+ * PodToHTML
+ 
+ * Regexp-Shellish
+ 
+ * Sort-Versions
+ 
+ * SVN-Mirror (which is dependent on SVK...)
+ 
+ * SVN-Simple
+ 
+ * TermReadKey
+ 
+ * Test-Builder-Tester
+ 
+ * Test-Pod
+ 
+ * Text-Diff
+ 
+ * TimeDate

+ * VCP-Dest-svk
+ 
+ * XML-AutoWriter
+

+ 
+ * YAML
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ (Some of those are optional, rather than mandatory, dependencies.)

+ == Gentoo
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ The latest portage contains an svk ebuild. However, it's still masked (~x86) and so are many of its dependencies. Thus, you'll either have to supply the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS override (bad idea, but easy) or edit /etc/portage/package.keywords to unmask the needed packages:
+ 
+ 
+ 
+   % ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge dev-util/svk
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ OR add the following to /etc/portage/package.keywords:
+ 
+ 
+ 
+   dev-perl/Data-Hierarchy ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/File-Temp ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/File-Type ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/IO-Digest ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/Locale-Maketext-Lexicon ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/Locale-Maketext-Simple ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/PerlIO-eol ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/PerlIO-via-dynamic ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/PerlIO-via-symlink ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/SVN-Mirror ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/SVN-Simple ~x86
+ 
+   dev-util/svk ~x86
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ Then, run:
+ 
+ 
+ 
+   % emerge dev-util/svk
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ You'll also need to make sure that the subversion package has been compiled with USE="perl" to include the Perl bindings.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ (update 2005/05/12 by CliffordCaoile)
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ I recently tried to emerge svk (ebuild version "0.29") with a reduced set of masked packages in /etc/portage/package.keywords. It seems to work with just this:
+ 
+ 
+ 
+   dev-perl/File-Type ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/SVN-Mirror ~x86
+ 
+   dev-perl/SVN-Simple ~x86
+ 
+   dev-util/svk ~x86
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ Then I manually upgrade to svk-1.00 using the canonical CPAN command:
+ 
+ 
+ 
+   perl -MCPAN -e 'install SVK'
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ == !RedHat 9.0
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ First, download those needed for installing, include:
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ *swig: redhat 9.0 has it's own, but it's too old. Get the latest one.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ *subversion packages
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ *Berkeley DB library(db4): I got a few faults with db4.1. While change to db4.0, everything's ok. So, recommend you using db4.0.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ To install the db4 first, then swig, last is subversion. When you finish subversion install, please follow the steps of http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/bindings/swig/INSTALL. There're statements about install the perl-binding of subvesion that needed for SVK.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ If everything done, download SVK, install it, enjoy!
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ == Mandrake
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ Cooker mandrake after 2004-04-02 contains a package of svk ( latest version usually ).
+ 
+ Just use urpmi to install it, with contribs sources added, as explained on http://urpmi.org/.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ == Mac OS X
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ For a standalone Universal binary installers of SVK go to [svkbuilds http://homepage.mac.com/hiirem/svkbuilds.html].
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ A self contained source tarball from which the above distribution can be built is [svkbuild-1.08.tar.bz2 http://homepage.mac.com/hiirem/svkbuild-1.08.tar.bz2].
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ [Fink http://fink.sourceforge.net] has a [SVK package http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/svk]. Just type 'fink selfupdate' and then 'fink install svk' or use [FinkCommander http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net].
+ 
+ The SVK package is still in the [Fink http://fink.sourceforge.net] unstable tree. Please read the [Fink FAQ http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable] about how to enable packages in the unstable tree and remember to give feedback to the [package maintainer http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/svk].
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ [Darwinports http://darwinports.opendarwin.org] also has a [SVK port http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ports/?by=name&substr=svk&Search=Submit]. 'sudo port install svk' should be enough to install everything you need to use svk. (Additionally, you may want to install the p5-vcp-dest-svk and p5-vcp-source-cvsbk ports).
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ (For those of you trying to install on 10.3, I suggest you just use the 1.02 dmg.  The only problem I had with 1.02 is that I had to initialize the depot, delete the .svk folder, then initialize it again.  I tried to build 1.06 from source in several different ways but ran into errors that were listed on the mailing lists a couple years ago.  I even tried fink and darwinports but ran into problems just trying to get those to work properly and I didn't want to struggle with those systems [fink gave me permissions errors that I haven't had with anything else and darwinports was missing some curl library, maybe because I'm on 10.3.9?]. - [Ajay] on 2/8/06
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ Update - I recently tried to upgrade to 1.06-2 and 1.05-1 on Panther using the dmg files provided but I had problems with the enclosed svn and svk.  I then tried [SVK-1.04.dmg http://homepage.mac.com/hiirem/SVK-1.04.dmg] and it appears to work so far. - [Ajay] on 6/23/06

+ 
+ 
+ 
+ Cygwin is a UNIX emulation layer for MS Windows. The Subversion and Perl that comes with Cygwin appears
+ 
+ to have the correct bindings.
+ 
+ 
+

+ 
+

+ See BuildingSvkInYourHomeDirectory.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ You need subversion 0.36 release or newer (but 1.1.0 or above is preferred), with perl bindings support

+ to use svk.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ svk uses the standard perl module install process:
