To install Subversion on a shared hosting account, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Check if Subversion is already installed: Some shared hosting providers may already have Subversion installed on their servers. You can check with your hosting provider to see if Subversion is available for use.
  2. If Subversion is not already installed, you can try installing it yourself by following these general steps:
  • Log in to your hosting account using SSH (Secure Shell) access.
  • Download the Subversion binaries compatible with your hosting environment. You can find the latest version of Subversion at https://subversion.apache.org/packages.html.
  • Extract the downloaded files to a directory on your hosting account using the 'tar' command.
  • Add the path to the 'bin' directory of Subversion to your hosting account's PATH environment variable. You can do this by modifying your .bashrc or .bash_profile file.
  • Test the Subversion installation by running the 'svn' command in the terminal.
  1. If you are not comfortable with installing Subversion on your shared hosting account, you can consider using a Subversion hosting service or a version control system that is supported by your hosting provider.


It is recommended to consult with your hosting provider before attempting to install Subversion on your shared hosting account, as some providers may have restrictions on installing certain software on their servers.
