## git-annex.app
[[!img /assistant/osx-app.png align=right link=/assistant]]
For easy installation, use the prebuilt app bundle.
* 10.9 Mavericks: [git-annex.dmg](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/OSX/current/10.9_Mavericks/git-annex.dmg)
* 10.8.2 Mountain Lion: [git-annex.dmg.bz2](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/OSX/current/10.8.2_Mountain_Lion/git-annex.dmg.bz2) **warning: not being updated any longer**
* 10.7.5 Lion: [git-annex.dmg](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/OSX/current/10.7.5_Lion/git-annex.dmg) **warning: not being updated any longer**
To run the [[git-annex_assistant|/assistant]], just
install the app, look for the icon, and start it up.
To use git-annex at the command line, you can add
`git-annex.app/Contents/MacOS` to your `PATH`
Alternatively, from the command line you can run
`git-annex.app/Contents/MacOS/runshell`, which makes your shell use all the
programs bundled inside the app, including not just git-annex, but git, and
several more. Handy if you don't otherwise have git installed.
## autobuilds
[[Joey]] autobuilds the app for Mavericks, thanks to Kevin McKenzie
for hosting the autobuilder.
* [autobuild of git-annex.dmg](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/x86_64-apple-mavericks/git-annex.dmg) ([build logs](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/x86_64-apple-mavericks/))
## using Homebrew
git-annex is now [[available in Homebrew|Homebrew]]!
## using MacPorts
Install the Haskell Platform from [[http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html]].
The version provided by Macports is too old to work with current versions of git-annex.
Then execute
<pre>
sudo port install git-core ossp-uuid md5sha1sum coreutils gnutls libxml2 libgsasl pkgconfig
sudo cabal update
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
cabal install c2hs git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
</pre>
## PATH setup
Do not forget to add to your PATH variable your ~/bin folder. In your .bashrc, for example:
<pre>
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
</pre>
