As a haskell package, git-annex can be installed using cabal.
Start by installing the [Haskell Platform](http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/),
and then:
cabal update
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
cabal install git-annex -f-assistant --bindir=$HOME/bin
The above downloads the latest release and installs it into a ~/bin/
directory, which you can put in your PATH.
## building in the assistant and webapp
The above builds git-annex without the git-annex assistant and webapp. To
build with those features enabled, you will need to install several C
libraries and their headers, including libgnutls, libgsasl, libxml2, and
zlib. Then run:
cabal install c2hs --bindir=$HOME/bin
cabal install git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
## building from git checkout
But maybe you want something newer (or older). Then [[download]] the version
you want, and use cabal as follows inside its source tree:
cabal update
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
cabal install c2hs --bindir=$HOME/bin
cabal install --only-dependencies
cabal configure
cabal build
cabal install --bindir=$HOME/bin
