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 has basically no dependencies and is self-contained.
- i386: download tarball
- amd64: download tarball
- armel: download tarball
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
, or symlink the programs in the directory to a directory in your
PATH. This lets you use git annex
, without overriding your system's
own versions of git, etc.
The armel version can be installed on NAS devices and other embedded ARM linux systems.

A daily build is also available, thanks to Mesar Hameed and the University of Bath CS department.
