Before we go any further it is time to create some folders to store our Subversion and
Trac repositories, and check that everything is working as expected. We're going
to keep everything in the projects folder, which we will place in the root of the C:
drive (Microsoft Windows) or the root partition (Linux).
The followings steps should be performed as a user with administrative rights from a
command prompt (Start menu, Run, type cmd and click OK) for Microsoft Windows,
or in a terminal as root, either directly (Debian) or via sudo (Ubuntu) for Linux.
1. For Microsoft Windows only, Type c: and press Enter.
2. Type cd \ (Microsoft Windows) or cd / (Linux) and press Enter.
3. Type mkdir projects and press Enter.
4. Type cd projects and press Enter.
5. Type mkdir svn trac files and press Enter.
Don't be afraid to personalize
Although we are creating our folders on our C: drive (Microsoft
Windows) or in the root partition (Linux), this is only to keep things
straightforward for this title. Feel free to place the projects folder
wherever you feel appropriate on your own systems, but ensure you
reflect such changes in the paths discussed in this chapter and
the Appendices.
We will look at setting the file permissions for these folders correctly later in
this chapter.
