CollabNet provides a Subversion (SVN) command-line client for version control operations. If you’re using Solaris, follow these steps to install the CollabNet SVN client.
1. Prerequisites
Before installation, ensure: You have root or sudo privileges.
You are using Solaris 10 or later.
Your system has network access to download the package.
2. Download the CollabNet SVN Client
Visit the official CollabNet Subversion Downloads page:
https://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion (CollabNet may have moved to another distribution, so check their latest repository.)
Select the Solaris version (
SPARC
or x86
).
Use
wget
or curl
to download:
wget https://downloads.collab.net/subversion/subversion-1.14.1-solaris10-x86.pkg.gz
3. Extract and Install the Package
Unzip the downloaded package:
gunzip subversion-1.14.1-solaris10-x86.pkg.gz
Install using
pkgadd
:
pkgadd -d subversion-1.14.1-solaris10-x86.pkg
Follow the installation prompts and confirm.
4. Verify the Installation
After installation, check if SVN is correctly installed:
svn --version
If installed correctly, you should see output like:
svn, version 1.14.1 (r1876290)
compiled Dec 9 2020, 16:40:22
5. Set Environment Variables (Optional)
If SVN is not recognized, add it to your PATH
:
Find the installation directory:
which svn
(Example output: /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin/svn
)
Add to your PATH:
export PATH=/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin:$PATH
Make it permanent by adding it to
~/.bashrc
or ~/.profile
:
echo 'export PATH=/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
6. Test SVN Client
Try running basic SVN commands:
svn help
svn list https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf
If successful, the second command should list Apache SVN repository contents.
7. Uninstall CollabNet SVN (If Needed)
To remove the package:
pkgrm CollabNet_Subversion
8. Conclusion
You have now successfully installed the CollabNet SVN command-line client on Solaris!
