If your Linux distribution does not have git-annex packaged up for you,
|
2014-09-16 19:05:12 +00:00
|
|
|
you can either build it [[fromsource]], or you can use a handy
|
2013-02-22 22:18:28 +00:00
|
|
|
prebuilt tarball of the most recent release.

This tarball should work on most Linux systems. It has basically no
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies and is self-contained.

|
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
|
2013-12-15 19:57:41 +00:00
|
|
|
`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
|
2013-03-20 17:40:57 +00:00
|
|
|
own versions of git, etc.
