I upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion and found out SVN is no longer present. I use Netbeans 6.9.1 in conjunction with Apache's SVN.
How can I get it back and working?

Install the latest Xcode from the Mac App Store. Go to Xcode » Preferences » Downloads » Command Line Tools » Install.
If you don't want to download/install Xcode, you can always just download Command Line Tools for Mountain Lion from Developer Downloads. |

If you have Xcode installed and if you use bash : add this at the end of your .profile PATH="${PATH}:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/" It should be working |

Also checkout Homebrew for these type of packages : |

You can install one of the binary distributions available at Apache Subversion Binary Packages - Mac OS X I've chosen the WANdisco distribution myself. Keep in mind you need to stay on the same major version as Netbeans use, if you are touching your working copy from both NetBeans and the command line. So if NetBeans 6.9.1 is still using Subversion 1.6, you should go for Subversion 1.6.18, not 1.7.5. Or upgrade to a newer NetBeans version with Subversion 1.7 support. Update: Looks like NetBeans svn support is interacting with the command line client, and supports svn 1.6.x and newer: Guided Tour of Subversion - Netbeans. I would go for the newest 1.7.x version then. |

XCode will only install SVN 1.6.18 (r1303927). But you can easily install Subversion from Apache. Just download the source files at http://subversion.apache.org/download/#recommended-release, unpack and go into Terminal. Navigate to the folder you just unpacked via (you can drag & drop the folder from Finder into Terminal). Then type wait wait quite some time However you might need to change your PATHS by going to /etc and open the PATHS-File In my case, the old installation was in /usr/bin/svn (you can check that with "which svn"), the new one is in /usr/local/bin. Both are in the PATHS-file, but in the "wrong" order. |

You can also install the SVN and other command line tools without installing the full xcode as per this article: http://blog.grapii.com/2012/08/svn-missing-in-mac-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion/ |

You can always install Subversion through MacPorts. |

If you install through XCode you'll get svn 1.6.x. If you need 1.7.x you'll have issues with http urls of repositories so you'll need to install neon as well. This is my blog post about how to do this (the first part is why) http://nemanjakovacevic.net/blog/2013/01/svn-android-pre-compiler-and-mac-os-x-pita-combination/ |

Currently there are many problems with svn 1.7.5 on Apple's Mountain Lion. The svn version of the Apache site has a wrong Neon version (causing svn: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for http*). The command line version of WANdisco has problems and is therefor not ready, while CollabNet does not have a build for OSX Mountain Lion. The GUI version of Syncro is up-and-running for 1.7.5, command line versions are not. The best is to stay on the 1.6 until all problems are solved. |
