  1. Check if sqlite and mod_dav are installed/provisioned

httpd -M | grep dav

root@server [/]# php -m | grep sqlite && httpd -M | grep dav
pdo_sqlite
sqlite3
 dav_module (shared)

* Using EA4 or `yum` install/provision the `sqlite` PHP module and `mod_dav`
  extension for Apache if not already installed
* `yum install ea-apache24-mod_dav`

  1. cd /usr/local/src/

  2. Get the latest release of Subversion from the downloads page 

wget https://downloads.apache.org/subversion/subversion-1.14.1.tar.gz
  1. Unzip it.
tar xvzf subversion-1.14.1.tar.gz

  1. cd subversion-1.14.1
