Installation Manual

SVN
Warning!: This is not recommended for novice and/or normal Users.
It is a code Development tool and has the complexities to match! It should not be used for live sites. SVN
gives you the absolute latest download at the precise moment you request it. But that could theoretically be
at the point that someone is uploading files for example!
If you are looking to develop Joomla! Extensions, learn the ins-and-outs of precisely how Joomla! is put
together, or are working on a particular project that demands the absolute latest version of Joomla!, and for
those helping test Joomla! to assist with the development and Quality and Testing process then we
recommend using Subversion (SVN).
You will find full details of the setting up of your local repository and access to the SVN downloads on the
Developer Site and accordingly we shall not repeat them here.
