-Download the [prebuilt tarball](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/android/).
-Instructions below assume it was downloaded to `/sdcard/Download`, which
-is the default if you use the web browser for the download.
+First, ensure your Android device is configured to allow installation of
+non-Market apps. Go to Setup -> Security -> and enable "Unknown Sources".
 
-To use this tarball, you need to install either
-[KBOX](http://kevinboone.net/kbox.html) or
-[Terminal IDE](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spartacusrex.spartacuside)
-(available in Google Play).
-This is both to get a shell console, as well as a location under

+Download the [git-annex.apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/android/current/)

-Open the console app you installed, and enter this command:
-
-	cd $(which sh)/..; tar xf /sdcard/Download/git-annex-android.tar.gz

-Now git-annex is installed, but to use it you need to enter a special
