Overview

This document gives step-by-step instructions for installing TortoiseSVN, a Subversion version control client for Windows.

Installing TortoiseSVN

Install TortoiseSVN as follows:

1. Login to your .\localmgr account if you have not already done so.
2011+ laptops have the recent version, and you do not need to do anything.  If you have a version of TortoiseSVN prior to version 1.7.5, uninstall your existing version (using the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel in Windows XP or "Uninstall a program" in Windows 7) and reboot your computer. Login to your .\localmgr account again.
To find the version number of your current installation (if any), open My Documents. Right-click on some folder and select TortoiseSVN → About
3. Select:
   • this TortoiseSVN installer if you have a 32-bit Windows operating system (e.g., your RHIT laptop), or
   • this TortoiseSVN installer if you have a 64-bit Windows operating system

   and choose Run.

   • Note: the window that pops up may be hidden behind these instructions
4. Follow the instructions for installation, accepting all defaults
5. Restart your computer and login to your OWN account (the one that you usually use, NOT localmgr)
