## Installation Steps
1. In the DSM Package Center, install Git, which is available from Synology (no third-party repository needed).
2. Download the latest [[standalone|Linux_standalone]] git-annex build for Linux on armel.
3. Extract it somewhere sensible (eg: a bin/ directory your users home directory)
4. Go into the git-annex.linux directory and ./runshell. You can now run git-annex as you normally would.

## How to sync with the Synology NAS
### On the Synology
1. Setup port forwarding and associated dynamic dns, if applicable. Many good guides online for this.
2. Setup ssh key based authentication with the Synology for each computer you want to sync with it. You want a specific key that is used only by git-annex, for each computer. Again, many good guides online.
3. In the Synology .ssh/authorized_keys file for your account, add (substituing your username)

### On the other computers - the manual way
1. See step 2 above about creating the specific git-annex ssh keys.
2. In your .ssh/config, create an alias for your Synology that includes specifying the right sshkey. For example, mine looks like:
