I am able to check out projects from SVN repository using eclipse as in the below screen shot.

alt text

But i am not able to do the same from command line..I am getting the error as : 'SVN' is not recognized as an internal or external command

If SVN is not installed on my machine how come eclipse is able to checkout?

Do i need to install SVN client in my machine?

I tried searching on my machine but could not find which path(SVN installation) eclipse is referring to execute SVN commands

  • I don't understand what you want to do with Subversion. Without any requirements, it is not possible to say if you need the command client or not. Usually, the command client is used for any automation, to include some SVN part in a script, or if you are more fluent with the command shell instead of a UI tool. Commented Aug 3, 2013 at 7:16

Reset to default

Subclipse is coming with its own SvnClientAdapter which implements the Subversion API.

Subversion itself provides a default UI, in the form of a command line interface. If you want to easy operate with it on the Windows console, then you should add the Subversion home to the PATH environment variable.

Apart from that I prefer in most cases to use TortoiseSVN on Windows.

You should install the command line client yes. For help on that see svnbook

If i don't have it installed from where eclipse is using?
It's probably using it's own copy of the client library, not the comand line executables.
