This tarball should work on most Linux systems. It has basically no
dependencies and is self-contained.
**Warning** Linux kernels older than 4.5 may not run this build correctly, and
<a href="http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/unable_to_decommit_memory__58___Invalid_argument/">data loss has been reported</a>
using this build with the old kernel. We are working to resolve this
problem, and if you use such a kernel, we recommend running
`git annex test` to check git-annex works correctly, and/or
using the build for ancient kernels.
