I tried to download the engine pluging using the ruby script/plugin
method but it does not work. Here is the errors logged into console:

I think this means that you do not have svn configured correctly,
specifically that svn is not in your PATH.

Right, if you’ve just got TortoiseSVN or some other client, that won’t
work…you actually need SVN itself.
