Where is svn on Mac OS X 10.8?

Question

According to the Apache Subversion home-page , svn is bundled with Mac OS X. This is corroborated by Apple's own Open-Source-in-Mac-OS-X directory page . Trying to run it on my Mountain Lion 10.8.4, however, looks like this:

foo:bar user$ svn
-bash: svn: command not found

Where has it gone to?

Answer 1

This blog describes in detail how svn is now bundled with Xcode, rather than Mac OS X itself, and contains suggestions how to amend the system path to work around this issue, provided you already have Xcode installed. In short, the 'bundled' svn may now be found here:

foo:bar user$ which svn
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/svn

Answer 2

Steps:

1. Open terminal
2. Type: sudo nano /etc/paths
3. Go to the end of file and paste: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin
4. Keyboard Hit: control + X
5. Keyboard Hit: Y
6. After hitting Y , hit enter , otherwise the changes will not be saved. (To confirm if the changes were saved correctly, repeat steps 1 and 2.)
7. Restart the terminal and then you are ready.
