Go to the root of your webserver and type

1

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/ .

You need to have svn installed – if not yet done the following command should do this for you.

1

aptitude install subversion

If you want to update your Wordpress plugins remotely through your linux server, you have to install them through SVN. Go to your plugin-in folder (ususally: ../wp-content/plugins/) and type

1

svn propedit svn:externals .

(Please note that the period at the end is important).

Your editor of choice should now open and you have to integrate your wished plugins. Find below one example:

syntaxhighlighter-plus http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/syntaxhighlighter-plus/trunk/
twitter-tools http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/twitter-tools/trunk/

Please not that I’m using here the ‘trunk’-version, which are the latest development and might contain bugs. You can alternatively specify /tags/XYZ/ – XYZ being the release version you want to install.

After having saved your new entry you have to go back to your root folder (e.g. by cd ../..) and then please type:

1

svn up

The system will now download the latest version(s) and you only have to (re-)activate your plugins within Wordpress.

A regular updating with ’svn up’ will keep your plugins updated.
