How To Download A Google Code Project From Windows Using Cygwin?

I want to download: https://code.google.com/p/example

According to the docs, I need a subversion control system so I downloaded svn-load from setup.exe and got this:

$ svn-load http://example.googlecode.com/svn/trunk ~/src
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/svn-load", line 43, in <module>
import pysvn
ImportError: No module named pysvn

Now I'm stuck. I went to the actual url: http://example.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Example.txt

I think that that is all of the code. So do I just copy and paste it somewhere?

Solution

  • Using Cygwin, these instructions worked for me:

    wget rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg
install apt-cyg /bin
