« Preparation The fs2_open on Linux Guide
Installing Subversion 		Installing the Development Libraries »


Note: This step is only for those who want the bleeding-edge source code to compile on their own. You can skip this if you intend to use a provided binary executable.
Note: If your distribution is not listed below and you are familiar with how to install Subversion on it, please add that information to this section.

Subversion (SVN) is a version control system used to manage changes to documents, such as source files. Developers use Subversion so they can easily coordinate their code changes with those of other developers through a SVN repository.

Be aware that when you use a copy of fs2_open from Subversion, you are using the most recent revision of the fs2_open code. The newest code might have new features and bug fixes, but it might also be less stable, perform worse, or might not even compile.

You will need a Subversion client to download ("check out" in SVN terminology) a copy of fs2_open from the Source Code Project's SVN repository. The instructions for getting a client are specific to each Linux distribution.


Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint users should run: 

$ apt-get install subversion

Gentoo users should run: 

$ emerge -a subversion

Arch Linux users should run: 

$ pacman -Sy subversion

Fedora Core 6 (Zod) (and most likely Red Hat) users should run: 

# yum install subversion

Mandriva users should run: 

# urpmi subversion

Novell SuSE users should install Subversion via YaST.
