{{Note| In April 2015, the SCP team transitioned the source code repository from SVN-based to GitHub-based (Git).}}
 
 
On March 2008, the SCP team has changed the repository server from CVS based to SVN based.
 
 
 
Some terms have also changed with the new repository server:
 
*'''The stable branch''' (old CVS) is now called '''Trunk''' (new SVN).
 
*'''HEAD revision''' (new SVN) is latest version. Do not confuse it with '''the unstable branch''', also called '''HEAD branch''', in old CVS.

Here's how you set things up:
+
== Mac ==
  
*Go to the [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ Tortoise SVN homepage] and download the latest version.
+
Please see the [[Mac_Development_Guide#Getting_the_Freespace_2_Open_SCP_source_code|Mac Development Guide]].
*Install it. You'll probably have to restart your PC afterwards.
 
*Make a new folder on your HD where you'd like to install the code. You'll need a fair bit of space for the code + the intermediate files when building it. Press right mouse and choose SVN Checkout from the list.
 
::''<font color=red>A image from the forum is needed here</font>''
 
*An new window will open up. Cut and paste this into the URL of repository box:<br>'''svn://svn.icculus.org/fs2open/trunk/fs2_open'''
 
*By default the HEAD revision will be selected. You probably don't want to change this. Your screen should now look like this:
 
::''<font color=red>Another image from the forum is needed here</font>''
 
*Press OK to begin downloading from the repository.
 
  
It's pretty easy. It shouldn't take you more than a minute or two to do once you've installed Tortoise.
