Install a Subversion Client: Mac

Rationale

Though earlier Mac operating systems included Subversion (SVN) command-line tools by default, recent versions do not, and you will need to install the package management tool HomeBrew in order to install SVN. This documentation will explain how to install both HomeBrew and Subversion.

Practice: Install HomeBrew

Before you install HomeBrew, you must first check if you already have HomeBrew installed on your computer. Go to Terminal, type brew doctor, then press return. If Terminal returns Your system is ready to brew, HomeBrew is installed and you can proceed to installing Subversion. If not, follow these steps to install Brew on your machine:
In Terminal, copy and paste the following command, then press the return key: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" (Note that you may also copy the command from the HomeBrew website.)
Wait for the installation to finish, and test whether Brew has been successfully installed by typing brew doctor then pressing return and checking for the following message: Your system is ready to brew.
Even after a successful installation, you may need to change the path of HomeBrew. You can find out if you need to change the path by skimming the installation output script in Terminal. If you do need to change the path, the script will contain messages typically beginning with: Warning: /opt/homebrew/bin is not in your PATH. If you see that warning, continue through the output script until you find Next Steps. Follow the steps outlined there. It is important to follow the messages in your own Terminal because these will be personalized to your own machine and current path.

Practice: Install Subversion

Once you have successfully installed HomeBrew on your machine, you can install Subversion. To do so:
Type brew install Subversion in Terminal and press the return key.
Wait for the process to complete.
Test to see whether the installation was successful by typing svn checkout into Terminal and pressing Return. If you get a message saying Not enough arguments provided, the installation was successful.
If you do not get the expected message, or if you get an error message, try restarting Terminal (fully quitting then launching again) and start the process again—beginning with checking whether or not Subversion then HomeBrew are installed on your machine.
