Install Subversion Edge on Linux

The Linux distribution is a tar.gz archive. Expand it to the location where you want to install.

Important: You must install the application as a non-root user. If you install as a root user, you will later need to change the ownership of all files to a non-root user, and run the application as that non-root user.

Prepare the server by installing the required software.
- Install a Java 6 JRE. The Sun/Oracle JRE is recommended.
- Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable, and point it to your Java 6 JRE home. For example:
```
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun
```
- In case you do not have Python already, install it.
Switch to the parent directory where you want to install Subversion Edge.
- cd /u1
Get the installer from http://www.collab.net/svnedge.
Unpack the installer.
Note: Make sure you extract the package as a non-root user.
- tar -zxf CollabNetSubversionEdge-1.1.0_linux-x86.tar.gz
The tar.gz file is unpacked to the csvn directory.
Tip: You can rename the folder to whatever you want using the "mv" command.
Run the application.
Note: You must run the application as a non-root user.
- cd csvn
- bin/csvn start
It'll take a minute for the application to start. You should be able to access it from a web browser at http://hostname:3343/csvn.
Log into management console with these default administrator credentials.
- Username: admin
- Password: admin

Next, you need to configure the Apache server via the console.
