To install git-annex from scratch, you need a lot of stuff. Really
quite a lot.
* Haskell stuff
* [The Haskell Platform](http://haskell.org/platform/) (GHC 7.4 or newer)
* A ton of haskell libraries. Rather than try to list them all here,
see git-annex.cabal. Probably the easiest way to install them:
`cabal update; cabal install git-annex --only-dependencies`

* Shell commands
* [git](http://git-scm.com/) (1.7.2 or newer; 1.8.5 or newer recommended)
2012-09-27 21:19:06 +00:00
* [xargs](http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/findutils/)
* [rsync](http://rsync.samba.org/)
* [curl](http://http://curl.haxx.se/) (optional, but recommended)
* [wget](http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/) (optional)
* [sha*sum](ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/) (optional)
2012-09-27 21:19:06 +00:00
* [gpg](http://gnupg.org/) (optional; needed for encryption)
* [lsof](ftp://lsof.itap.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof/)
(optional; recommended for watch mode)
* [gcrypt](https://github.com/joeyh/git-remote-gcrypt)

(optional)
* [nocache](https://github.com/Feh/nocache)
(optional)

* multicast DNS support, provided on linux by [nss-mdns](http://www.0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-mdns/)
