I hear that people want the git-annex assistant to be easy to install
|
|
without messing about building it from source..
|
|
|
|
## on OSX
|
|
|
|
So Jimmy and I have been working all week on making an easily installed OSX
|
|
app of the assistant. This is a .dmz file that bundles all the dependencies
|
|
(git, etc) in, so it can be installed with one click.
|
|
|
|
It seems to basically work. You can get it [[here|install/OSX]].
|
|
|
|
Unfortunatly, the [[bugs/pasting_into_annex_on_OSX]] bug resurfaced while
|
|
testing this.. So I can't really recommend using it on real data yet.
|
|
|
|
Still, any testing you can do is gonna be really helpful. I'm squashing OSX
|
|
bugs right and left.
|
|
|
|
## on Linux
|
|
|
|
First of all, the git-annex assistant is now available in Debian unstable,
|
|
and in Arch Linux's AUR. Proper packages.
|
|
|
|
For all the other Linux distributions, I have a workaround. It's
|
|
a big hack, but it seems to work.. at least on Debian stable.
|
|
|
|
I've just put up a [[install/linux_standalone]] tarball, which has **no
|
|
library dependencies** apart from glibc, and doesn't even need git to be
|
|
installed on your system.
|
|
|
|
## on FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
The FreeBSD port has been updated to include the git-annex assistant too..
