You also need to install [Magic Wormhole](https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole) -
here are [the installation instructions](https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome.html#installation).
sudo apt-get install magic-wormhole
*Important:*
Important: You need git-annex version 6.20180705. Older versions of git-annex
unfortunately had a bug that prevents this process from working correctly.
* At the time of writing, you need to install Magic Wormhole under Python 2,
because [Tor support is only available under python2.7](https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tor.html).
* The installation process must make a `wormhole` executable available
somewhere on your `$PATH`. Some distributions may only install executables
which reference the Python version, e.g. `wormhole-2.7`, in which case you
will need to manually create a symlink (and maybe file a bug with your distribution).
* You need git-annex version 6.20180705. Older versions of git-annex
unfortunately had a bug that prevents this process from working correctly.
