a) It will be much easier to manage HoloCMS for me and future developers
b) It will be much easier for everyone to see exactly what changed when, and most importantly it's really to update your copy of HoloCMS.

Sigh I'm too lazy, can't you just RAR it?
No. Not my problem.

Downloading HoloCMS
1. Downloading a SVN Client
In order to use SVN you will need a SVN client. This tutorial will be based around TortoiseSVN, wich is what I recommend to all Windows users. You can download the application here:
Download | TortoiseSVN

2. Install TortoiseSVN
Pretty obvious. After downloading the SVN Client, install it.

3. Connecting to the SVN Server
First of all, find yourself a folder to download HoloCMS in. Now right click in the folder, and select 'SVN Checkout..':

You will now see the following screen:

As shown above, you need to fill in the location of the SVN. For HoloCMS the URL of the SVN is:

Code:

http://svn2.assembla.com/svn/HoloCMS

Now you need to select a location you want to download HoloCMS to in the second field. That doesn't matter - wherever you want to have it. Now, click OK, and it will start downloading HoloCMS.

NOTE: If you have downloaded HoloCMS before, it will not download it again, but update it instead! SVN ftw, right?

4. Wait while we do the work for you
Sit back and relax while TortoiseSVN does the job. It will now download or update HoloCMS for you. Easy, huh? This won't take very long, it's pretty fast actually.

5. You're done!
You have successfully downloaded HoloCMS! If you want to update HoloCMS, just repeat this process, and everything is done automaticly.

All future updates of HoloCMS will be placed in the SVN. I will no longer RAR everything for you. This seems easier for me and the users.

lolwut so how do I update now!?

Questions?

I am sorry - this tutorial is outdated. The HoloCMS SVN repository no longer exists, or at the very least is no longer in use. I think the new repository can be found at this URL:

http://svn.assembla.com/svn/holo_cms

Not sure. Don't blame me if it isn't.

EDIT: Yeah. This is the new one.

"Checkout from http://svn2.assembla.com/svn/holograph, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included

Well Said.

Tbh, this is way easier than having to go to rapidshare and re-download files, eh ? Think yourselves lucky that they made it this way, you would of been complaining more if they hadn't.
