Problem installing plugins

jh100000 · July 25, 2006, 10:49pm

I’m trying to install a plugin using the supplied command…

$ script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb

I get an error

sh: line 1: svn: command not found

What am I doing wrong? What is svn, and why is it not found?? It seems
to work for everyone else…
Have I missed something in my Ruby install?

svn=subversion (a version control system). you apparently don’t have it
installed.

You’re probably running on Windows and have not installed the svn
binaries. If so, you can get them here:

You should be able to run svn from the command line before installing
plugins will work.

Ideally, svn would be installed with the One-Click Ruby Installer and
Instant Rails.

If he’s running windows, then he needs to say:

ruby script/plugin . . .

Sorry - I should have said I’m running Mac OSX Tiger

I’ve had a look at

but seems to be just Windows binaries for svn. But that has led me to
this link for MacOS universal binaries…

and it worked! I’ve now managed to get backgroundRb installed.

Thanks everyone!
