How to find SVN version?

Question

I'm on a Windows machine. When I type in svn --version, I get this:

'svn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'm using TortoiseSVN. Is there some way to view the version through it?

I have looked at this but the server does not output any version information: How to find my Subversion server version number?

Answer 1

The error means that the svn.exe client is either missing on your computer or its parent path is not included in the %PATH% environment variable.

• See this thread when you want to find out your SVN server version: How to find my Subversion server version number?

• See this question and answers when you use TortoiseSVN on client side to find out the version of the client.

• When you have this problem on a computer with VisualSVN Server, see this article - KB13: Using Subversion command-line tools with VisualSVN Server.
