Hi I'm trying to use the Kiln Repository Import tool and keep getting an error that says "A recent version of Subversion does not appear to be installed. Please make sure Subversion 1.6.5 or later is installed." I tried a few suggestions I found such as installing a subversion server (Visual SVN Server) and rebooting to no avail. Any ideas?

@Robert Can you make sure you have svnadmin installed on the machine you're running the import on? This isn't included in the SVN client (it comes with the server). If you confirm that svnadmin is installed and it still doesn't work, contact me at customer-service[at]fogcreek.com – Rob Sobers♦ Nov 12 2010 at 15:54
Rebooted and svnadmin is in the path (just did a svnadmin -help and it works) I'll drop you an email. – Robert Nov 23 2010 at 18:21

For import from Subversion to work, you must have a copy of the Subversion client installed locally. If you're on Windows, the easiest way to get a copy of Subversion is to install TortoiseSVN.

If you have TortoiseSVN installed and are still encountering this error, please let me know.

Yes I have both Tortoise and Visual SVN installed – Robert Nov 11 2010 at 22:56
Error is still happening even after a reboot, I'll try the svnsync method instead... – Robert Nov 15 2010 at 17:42
Just to make this question useful to others, had to install a SVN server (not just tortoise), make it first in the path before Tortoise, and then the installs work. – Robert Feb 8 2011 at 15:12

Hei, I fixed the same error today by installing subversion locally (I took Win32Svn (32-bit client, server and bindings, MSI and ZIPs; maintained by David Darj from http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html). But now I get the error "no supported repository found".

What now, one step forward two back? I have one repository in the cloud (http://cloud.something.com/svn) and one on a Linux box (svn+ssh:// ....) . Doesn't work with either of them.

Our own Rob Sobers wrote a great guide for importing a remote repository by way of local using svnsync. Take a look at his guide and see if it helps: kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/2456/… – Benjamin Pollack♦ Nov 11 2010 at 20:04
