Question or issue on macOS:
Install Command Line Tools Open your terminal to begin the process of installing command-line tools on macOS Catalina. With your terminal opened, type the command below into the prompt and press the return key to execute it. After executing the command below a pop-up window should open with the option to install. I usually partition my SSDs so that I can keep multiple bootable macOS versions on it for running such older tooling and apps. I can answer the first and third part. 1) Any of the values returned by -dominfo 2) The device node entry. Any entry of the form of /dev/disk. Ex: /dev/disk2 3) The disk identifier.
I just updated XCode and the command line tools to 11.4. Now when I run svn it says “svn: error: The subversion command line tools are no longer provided by Xcode”. The release notes say “Command line tool support for Subversion — including svn, git-svn, and related commands is no longer provided by Xcode. If you need Subversion or related command line tools the you need to install the Command Line Tools package by running xcode-select –install.” I seem to be in a loop here, as the tools are installed. Has anyone experienced this problem and resolved it?
How to solve this problem?
Solution no. 1:
macOS Catalina
I had the same issue after upgrading to Catalina 10.15. It’s clearly mentioned in the Apple website that SVN is deprecated in Xcode 11:
You can find it here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos_release_notes/macos_catalina_10_15_release_notes
Command line tool support for Subversion — including svn, git-svn, and related commands — is no longer provided by Xcode.
The solution is to install the standalone Command Line Tools package instead:
followed by:
This will replace the bundled Command Line Tools with the standalone package.
If it doesn’t work for you then try to install it with brew
.
brew
is a package manager for MacOS so if you don’t have it installed then you can simply install it: https://brew.sh/
macOS Big Sur
I faced the same issue Today (16th November 2020) after upgrading to MacOS Big Sur. I was able to fix it by installing the SVN again using brew install svn
command.
If you faced permission errors after running above command, you can fix it by running following command.
Solution no. 2:
in Xcode 11.4. Svn has been removed.
Solution no. 3:
I had same issue from Netbeans and have done the following from command line and now all fine
Solution no. 4:
- /bin/bash -c “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)”
- brew install svn
Solution no. 5:
Coming from a FreeBSD background we elected to install SVN via MacPorts which is akin to FreeBSD Ports. So basically one would first need to install MacPorts and then install SVN as follows:
Some details –
Install MacPorts: https://www.macports.org/install.php
Install SVN: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/Subversion
It took less than five(5) minutes and works well for us.
Solution no. 6:
my mac os version is macOs Catalina 10.15.5,I try
but it not work.so I try to install with source code.It’s work!
Install Xcode Command Line Tools Catalina 2020
now,you can find it in /usr/local/bin/
Solution no. 7:
I switched to SVNKIT which works very well for my purposes. Since I’m doing a lot of Java development is no drawback for me that SVNKIT is based on Java.
The big advantage is that SVNKIT will still work even if Apple throws SVN out completely.
Solution no. 8:
Based partly on the other answers here, I built from source with this procedure:
- Download & unpack svn source tarball (NOT zip file!) from
https://subversion.apache.org/download.cgi cd subversion-1.14.0
./get-deps
(this seems to have downloaded apr and apr-util but not
built them)cd apr
sudo mkdir /usr/local/opt
(because I did not already have such a directory on a fresh Mac)./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/apr
make
make test
(saw lots of “OK” and “SUCCESS”, plus one failure in “testsock”)sudo make install
cd ../apr-util
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/apr-util --with-apr=/usr/local/opt/apr
cd ..
make
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/opt/apr --with-apr-util=/usr/local/opt/apr-util --with-lz4=internal --with-utf8proc=internal
make
sudo make install
Solution no. 9:
I found svn still available on my Mac (upgraded from 10.15.x -> Big Sur, including XCode upgrade) in
In the Apple Developers forum I read the suggestion to make an alias, which worked for me. However, considering svn is being dropped by Apple, this will probably not work on new installs, but it could be useful for those of us that just want it to work for now after upgrading.
Note: I found it easier to just make a symbolic link to svn:
