====== How to get WACT via SVN ======

The current version of WACT has not been released and is currently only available from SVN.  More information about SVN is available on [[http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=85372|SourceForge]]

===== Requirements =====
Running the WACT test suite requires that SimpleTest be installed and located in the ''include_path'' inside the directory named ''simpletest''.
WACT Also requires that the PEAR package [[http://pear.php.net/package/FSM|FSM]] be installed and available in the ''include_path''.

===== Checkout WACT from SVN =====

Use the svn checkout command.

<code=sh>
svn co https://wact.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wact/trunk/ wact
</code>

This will create a ''wact'' directory with the most current version of WACT.

If you want to be able to run the example programs, or use the web based test runner, you must checkout your ''wact'' directory into the document root of your test server.  Alternatively, you can use the apache Alias command to map the ''wact'' directory into your document root.
<code>
Alias /wact/ "/path/to/wact/"
</code>

===== Installing the wact command line utilities =====

You will also need to either copy the ''wact'' command from ''/bin'' into a directory that is in your shell path, or preferably add the ''/bin'' directory in your to your shell path.

===== Configuring the include_path =====

You will need to add the the ''wact'' directory to your include path.
