72 
  <p>In order to check out Metacat, you will need both Subversion (SVN) and CVS clients
73 
  installed and configured on your system.  This is because, while Metacat has been
74 
  migrated to SVN, some of its supporting libraries (eml, utlities and seek) have not
75 
  yet been migrated.  Eventually, SVN will be the only versioning client you will need.
76 
  You will need to make sure you have the appropriate permissions on these systems</p>
72 
  <p>You will also need Apache Ant to do the build.  If you have not already
73 
  installed Ant and you are running Ubuntu/Debian, you can get it by typing:</p>
74 
    <div class="code">sudo apt-get install ant</div>

  <p>For more information on installing SVN and CVS, please visit the following sites:

  <p>Otherwise, you can get ant from

  <p>If you are checking out Metacat code from the SVN repository, you will need both
80 
  Subversion (SVN) and CVS clients installed and configured on your system.  Both are needed
81 
  because, while Metacat has been migrated to SVN, some of its supporting libraries (eml,
82 
  utilities and seek) have not yet been migrated.  Eventually, SVN will be the only versioning
83 
  client you will need.  You will need to make sure you have the appropriate accounts on these
84 
  systems.  You won't have to worry about SVN or CVS if you are installing from a Metacat
85 
  source distribution.  These have all the required dependencies built in.</p>
