[download tarball](http://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`
-- 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`. This lets you use `git annex`, without overriding your system's
own versions of git, etc.
Warning: This is a last resort. Most Linux users should instead
[[install]] git-annex from their distribution of choice.
