You can fetch the dependencies using `cabal install`. Then, you can build git-annex by running:
runhaskell Setup.hs configure --user
runhaskell Setup.hs build
runhaskell Setup.hs install
The `--user` option configures the build so that it uses the packages you already have in `~/.cabal`. Binaries

As a haskell package, git-annex can be installed using cabal. For example:
cabal update
cabal install git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
The above downloads the latest release and installs it into a ~/bin/
directory, which you can put in your PATH.
But maybe you want something newer (or older). Then [[download]] the version
you want, and use cabal as follows inside its source tree:
cabal update
cabal configure
cabal build
cabal install --bindir=$HOME/bin
