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.exe on my machine.

Do we have to install something else to get the svn.exe commands?

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")

What is a compatible discrete version? – Amitabh Jun 03 '10 at 15:09

TortoiseSVN installer has two version numbers. The first one is the version of the GUI shell itself. The second is the version of subversion linked into it. If you will install a discrete version, you want one the same or close to the linked-in version. You can also find the svn version number with the context menu about box. – Amardeep AC9MF Jun 03 '10 at 15:10
So If I update the TSVN GUI I need to update the SVN client as well? – Amitabh Jun 03 '10 at 15:16

@Amitabh if you update TSVN you may need to update SVN to the same major release version. i.e. TSVN 1.6.8 SVN 1.6.6 will be compatible – skyfoot Jun 03 '10 at 15:22

If you have already installed TortoiseSVN 1.7, then try to reinstall it, and it will give you the option to Modify the install. Click the X'ed out command line option and choose to also install that. Worked for me – Drenai May 16 '12 at 13:52
I have tried by modifying the installer and gave command line tools for installation. I couldn't find "svn.exe". – Shesha Mar 11 '16 at 05:24

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.

During the installation of TortoiseSVN, check the Command Line Client Tools. This will create the file svn.exe inside the folder C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin.

TortoiseSVN doesn't use svn.exe it has SVN library compiled in. If you need to run your own tasks you would have to install stand alone subversion client. You either from Cygwin [http://cygwin.com ] or get a native version from http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#windows

If you'd like to use SVN.EXE, there are several companies that compile official binaries that are available for free download. For example, Collabnet:

Depending on what you need to do, automating TortoiseSVN may be a good solution. For example, the following will update a repository and close the TortoiseSVN window if there were no errors or conflicts:

TortoiseProc.exe /command:update /path:"c:\path\to\repo\" /closeonend:2

Download it from here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32svn/

and run the setup program. The executables are in:

\Program Files (x86)\Subversion\bin

for the default installation.

I installed TortoiseSVN-1.12.2.28653-x64-svn-1.12.2 in Windows 10 with commandline tool enabled. Still it didn't have the svn.exe file inside the bin folder.

So I downloaded Apache Subversion commandline tools from https://www.visualsvn.com/files/Apache-Subversion-1.13.0.zip. After unzipping, I have put the following two locations into my PATH variable:

C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin
E:\Apache-Subversion-1.13.0\bin

Everything works fine for me after this configuration.I wanted to use SVN in VsCode IDE.

If Subversion is already installed ,there's no need to reinstall it with the command line client tools.
Simply Goto

Start(Rightclick) ->App and Feature ->TortoiseSvn->Modify->Install command line client tools.

First off, if subversion installed on your machine? if not look at what server your tortoisesvn is setup to connect to.

the default location when subversion is installed is c:\program files\subversion you can find svn.exe in c:\program files\subversion\bin where you can run your cmd line actions.

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.
