If your Linux distribution does not have git-annex packaged up for you,
2012-09-29 00:56:26 +00:00
you can either build it [[fromscratch]], or you can use a handy
2013-02-22 22:18:28 +00:00
prebuilt tarball of the most recent release.
2012-09-28 22:21:39 +00:00
This tarball should work on most Linux systems. It has basically no
dependencies and is self-contained.

The armel version can be installed on NAS devices and other embedded ARM
linux systems.
[download tarball](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/)

To use, just unpack the tarball, `cd git-annex.linux` and run `./runshell`
-- this sets up an environment where you can use `git annex`, as well
as everything else included in the bundle.
Alternatively, you can unpack the tarball, and add the directory to your
`PATH`, or symlink the programs in the directory to a directory in your
PATH. This lets you use `git annex`, without overriding your system's
own versions of git, etc.

Note: This is a last resort. Most Linux users should instead
2012-09-29 01:00:59 +00:00
[[install]] git-annex from their distribution of choice.
