If your Linux distribution does not have git-annex packaged up for you,
you can either build it [[fromscratch]], or you can use a handy
prebuilt tarball of the most recent release.
This tarball should work on most Linux systems. It does not depend
on anything except for glibc.
[download tarball](https://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`, 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.
## autobuilds
A daily build is also available.
* i386: [download tarball](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/i386/git-annex-standalone-i386.tar.gz) ([build logs](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/i386/))
* amd64: [download tarball](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/amd64/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz) ([build logs](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/amd64/))
## gitannex-install
Eskild Hustvedt has contributed a
[gitannex-install](https://github.com/zerodogg/scriptbucket/blob/master/gitannex-install)
script to manage keeping up to date with new releases using the standalone
built.
