Subversion, aka "svn", is a version control program and is supposed to be the successor to and modern replacement of CVS. The commands for running svn are mostly the same as those used for cvs. svn is the command for the software subversion. Example:

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs

gets you the latest development code of KDE's libraries

Installing

To install subversion, download it from its project homepage, unpack it and compile it. If you want to check out from an https address (svn co https://svn.whatever.com/) you need the neon development package installed at compile-time.
