Where is svn.exe in my machine?

Question

I have Tortoise svn installed on my desktop. I want to perform some tasks using commandline svn.exe? But I am not able to find svn.

Answer 1

Yes reinstall and select command line to get the svn in Program Files-> Tortoise SVN folder.

Answer 2

Generally, you can find the svn.exe on this location:

C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin

If you have already installed TortoiseSVN and still can't find the file the svn.exe on the given location, then you need to rerun the TortoiseSVN installer, click on 'Modify' and select Command Line Tools and after installation is successfully finished, you can now find the 'svn.exe' on given location on your drive.

Answer 3

TortoiseSVN 1.7 has an option for installing the command line tools.

It isn't checked by default, but you can run the installer again and select it. It will also automatically update your PATH environment variable.

Answer 4

The subversion program code is linked into the TortoiseSVN binary. You can install a compatible discrete version if you need to access the repository from the command line.

UPDATE: Recent versions of the TortoiseSVN package can install a discrete svn.exe in addition to the one linked into the GUI binary. It is located in the same bin directory where the main program is installed. In the installer, the command line tools need to be selected for this:

(If you have already installed TortoiseSVN, then rerun the installer and select "Modify")
