Command-line svn for Windows?

Question

Is there a command-line based version of svn for Windows? I know I can get TortoiseSVN, but that just doesn't work for me.

What's your actual problem you want to solve with the native client? Why not use the bundled native client of TortoiseSVN? Describing your actual problem (ie WHY it dos not work) would be a better way to start a question instead of asking for available options ... — user57508

TortoiseSVN contains a console svn client, but by default the corresponding option is not enabled during installation.

The svn.exe executable is not standalone and it depends on some other files¹ in the distribution but this should not be a problem in most cases.

Once installed you might need to add the folder containing svn.exe to the system PATH as described here so that it is available in your console. To check if it was already added by the installer open a new console and type echo %PATH%. Use set on its own to see all environmental variables.
