There is a non-official source package for git-annex in
[AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44272).
There are three non non-official packages for git-annex in the Archlinux User Repository. Any of these may be installed manually per [AUR guidelines](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines#Installing_packages) or using a wrapper such as [`yaourt`](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/yaourt) shown below.
You can then build it yourself or use a wrapper for AUR
such as yaourt:
1. The simplest method is to use the [git-annex-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-annex-bin/) package based on the [prebuilt Linux tarballs](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/). This package includes many of the binary shims from the pre-built package. Although common Linux system utilities have been stripped in favor of normal dependencies, the pre-configured Haskell libraries included out of the box make this an easy install. The disadvantage is the resulting installation is a bit on the heavy side at nearly 100M.
<pre>
$ yaourt -Sy git-annex
</pre>
$ yaourt -Sy git-annex-bin
----
2. A more traditional source package is available at [git-annex](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-annex/). This depends on a large number of Haskell packages available from a third party repository or through Cabal. This has been historically a bit problematic and the package frequently sits flagged out of date. The state of dependencies also varies, so some intervention may be required to get this option to work.
I'm told the AUR has some dependency problems currently.
If it doesn't work, you can just use cabal:
$ yaourt -Sy git-annex
<pre>
pacman -S git rsync curl wget gnupg openssh cabal-install
cabal update
cabal install git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
</pre>
3. A development package is available at [git-annex-git]() that functions similarly to the source package but builds directly from the HEAD of the git repository rather that the last official release.
$ yaourt -Sy git-annex-git
Finally you may choose to forgo the Archlinux package system and install git-annex directly through cabal.
$ pacman -S git rsync curl wget gnupg openssh cabal-install
$ cabal update
$ cabal install git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
