 ==Using Subversion on your local Machine==
-First, just as it was with CVS, you will need a '''Subversion client''' installed on your machine.  If you are using linux, then you will most likely have the '''command line''' client already installed.  Try typing "'''which svn'''" to see if the clent is in your path.  Command line and nice GUI clients for SVN are available for just about any operating system. [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org tortoisesvn] is popular for windows. [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/development_tools/svnx.html SVNx] is a good choice for the Mac.  For more links see the [http://source/wiki/Subversion_links links page] on this wiki.

 Once you have Subversion installed, you will need a username and password.  If you haven't already them, email Gethin.  You can get read-only access to the code by using the username "genie-user" and the password you would expect.  Happily, access is considerably easier than for CVS.  You will be prompted for your password when required.  SVN caches your password, and so you often do not need to type it.
