For Windows
Installing TortoiseSVN
Download the latest version of TortoiseSVN from: http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html
Those who are using a 64-bit version of Windows should grab the 64-bit version of TortoiseSVN. If in doubt or unsure, grab the 32-bit version instead as that will work on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.
Follow the installation of TortoiseSVN. It should be straight-forward and not present any trouble.
Checking out
Create a new folder anywhere on your computer to store the copy of NetGore. Any name works, and you can move/rename the folder at any time without any problems.
Now, right-click on the folder you just created and select SVN Checkout.... This will let you checkout, or "download", the latest revision of NetGore from the repository to the folder you selected.
In URL of repository, you will need to enter the path to the NetGore repository. Copy and paste the following address into that text box: http://netgore.googlecode.com/svn/netgore/trunk/
Click OK, and it will start downloading the latest revision.
Updating
After you have finished checking out, you can update at any time. Simply right-click the directory and click SVN Update.
The default behavior is to update the selected file or folder to the latest revision. If you select a file, only that file will be updated. If you select a folder, all files and folders in that folder will be updated. So to update everything, make sure you right-click the root directory (the one you originally did the checkout to).
For Linux based OS's
