How to create an SVN folder in mac os x?

Answer 1

Try this:

bash$ mkdir -p /ram/Code
bash$ svnadmin create /ram/Code/SVN

svnadmin does not create parent directories for you. It could also be a permissions issue.

Answer 2

What that message is telling you is that either /ram/ or /ram/Code don't exist.

But why would you want to create that folder there?

If your user's short name is ram why don't you do svnadmin create /Users/ram/SVN ?

But I think you are not asking the right question. I think you want to create a local working copy of a repo on the server, not a local repo.

what you probably need to do is svn co protocol://server/repo
