forgive my ignorace, but I don't understand the statement in the 'Download from SVN' article: "Some time would pass and then 1.6.3 would be released, to upgrade simply do: svn up inside the root of the installation directory." In windows, I did cmd>run to get to DOS. Went to my c:\wiki\mediawiki\mediawiki-1.6.3 directory and entered: "svn co http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_6/phase3" and got an error "svn is not a recognizable command" is svn a unix command? What doe 'simply do' mean?
If using Windows, install a Windows Subversion client such as TortoiseSVN, from http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org. The "simply do" bit was probably written for those people who know instinctively what Subversion is and how to use it.
