Here are some simple instructions to get a working copy of the latest current SVN Version with all the updates on windows.

Step 1: Windows - Download and install tortoise svn on your local PC http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads
Linux - kdesnv or esvn

Step 2: Create a folder on your pc, AlegroCart
In windows explorer, select Checkout. Use http://alegrocart.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/AlegroCart as the url
Checkout to your local PC to folder AlegroCart
You will have all the files available and SVN logs that detail all the changes made in the SVN.

Step 3: Hi-lite the Folder you checked out, and in the explorer menu, select tortoise/export. You then export a stripped copy to your PC that mirrors the download copy with all the current changes made in the SVN.
This copy is the same as a download version which will allow you to create and install a working local web site.

Once you have checked out the initial copy, you can use update to keep updating for the latest changes.

Step 3: Right click on it and from the menu choose Export a repository...
