SVN Installation To check whether it is installed or not use following command. If Subversion client is not installed, then command will report error, otherwise it will display the version of the installed software. If you are using RPM-based GNU/Linux, then use yum command for installation.
In Apache Subversion, commands are entered via a terminal window. To open this in Windows, press the 'Windows key' and 'r. ' This will bring up the 'Run' dialog box. Enter 'cmd' and hit 'Ok.
What is Subversion: Subversion (SVN) is one of the most well-known centralized version control systems. In Subversion or SVN, you are checking out a single version of the repository. With SVN, your data is stored on a central server.
To find the version of the subversion REPOSITORY you can:
If not displayed, view source of the page
<svn version="1.6.13 (r1002816)" href="http://subversion.tigris.org/">
Now for the subversion CLIENT:
svn --version
will suffice
Let's merge these responses:
From an earlier answer by Manuel, run the following on the SVN server:
svnadmin --version
See the "powered by Subversion" line when accessing the server via a browser.
Access the repository via browser and then look for the version string embedded in the HTML source. From earlier answers by elviejo and jaredjacobs. Similarly, from ??, use your browser's developer tools (usually Ctrl + Shift + I) to read the full response. This is also the easiest (non-automated) way to deal with certificates and authorization - your browser does it for you.
Check the response tags (these are not shown in the HTML source), from an earlier answer by Christopher
wget -S --spider 'http://svn.server.net/svn/repository' 2>&1 |
sed -n '/SVN/s/.*\(SVN[0-9\/\.]*\).*/\1/p'
From an earlier answer by Milen
svnserve --version (run on svn server)
From an earlier answer by Glenn
ssh user@host svnserve --version
Check out the current version in a FAQ:

svn --version
On the server: svnserve --version
in case of svnserve-based configuration (svn:// and svn+xxx://).
(For completeness).
Here's the simplest way to get the SVN server version. HTTP works even if your SVN repository requires HTTPS.
$ curl -X OPTIONS http://my-svn-domain/ <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head>...</head> <body>... <address>Apache/2.2.11 (Debian) DAV/2 SVN/1.5.6 PHP/5.2.9-4 ...</address> </body>
</html>
For an HTTP-based server there is a Python script to find the server version at: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/client-side/server-version.py
You can get the client version with
`svn --version`
If the Subversion server version is not printed in the HTML listing, it is available in the HTTP RESPONSE header returned by the server. You can get it using this shell command
wget -S --no-check-certificate \
--spider 'http://svn.server.net/svn/repository' 2>&1 \
| sed -n '/SVN/s/.*\(SVN[0-9\/\.]*\).*/\1/p';
If the SVN server requires you provide a user name and password, then add the wget parameters --user and --password to the command like this
wget -S --no-check-certificate \
--user='username' --password='password' \
--spider 'http://svn.server.net/svn/repository' 2>&1 \
| sed -n '/SVN/s/.*\(SVN[0-9\/\.]*\).*/\1/p';
