# Adding a source control plugin to Aptana [edit]

This page describes how to add a source control plugin, such as Subversion or Perforce, to Aptana.

## Introduction

You can easily add source control plugins into your Aptana installation. We currently include access to Subversion and Perforce, by default, but you can either configure a connection to an update site for a different plugin, or if enough users request a different source control plugin, we may support it in the future.

## Instructions

You can either use the Plugins Manager View to install a source control plug-in or manually install the plug-in.

### Installing source control via the Plugins Manager

The Plugins Manager View offers an easy way to install the Subclipse and/or Subversive plug-ins for Subversion. To quickly install either of these, select which plug-in you would like to use and follow the instructions in Displaying the Plugins Manager View.

### Manually installing a source control plug-in

If you would like to use a different source control plug-in than Subclipse or Subversive or just prefer to install manually, you can install your source control plug-in by following the instructions in Installing a plug-in.

The chart on the Quick reference for popular plug-ins page gives update URL's for several popular plug-ins.
