$ cd csvn
$ sudo -E bin/csvn install  # this will write JAVA_HOME and username to the file  data/conf/csvn.conf . you can change it bu setting the JAVA_HOME and RUN_AS_USER variables in the file.

四. start the server. be sure that you are logged in as your own userid and not running as root.

$ bin/csvn start

$ bin/csvn console  # start the server and output the initial startup msg to the console. 

# you must login to the web-based management consoel and configure the Apache server before it can be run for the  first time.
    URL : http://localhost:3343/csvn
    SSL : https://localhost:4434/csvn   # you can force the user to use it.
    user: admin
    pass: admin

五. Optional . Configure the Apache Subversion server to start automatically when the system boots.

$ cd csvn
$ sudo bin/csvn-httpd install

**you should config the Apache Server on the web-UI before this step.**

六. update.

the csvn includes a built-in mechanism(机制) for discovering and installing updates. You must  use this facility to install updates. DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND RUN A NEW VERSION OF THE APPLIOCATION INSTALLER.

The update mechanism will require you to restart the servers at the end of the process, but it will do it for you.
