As a haskell package, git-annex can be installed from source pretty easily using cabal.
Installation from scratch
This is not recommended, but if you really want to, see fromscratch.
Hello everyone.
Be aware that your distribution's package may be very old. For example, at the time I write this, latest Debian stable is Debian 7.5 which is 2 months old. But git-annex package there is two years old (tomorrow, it will be exactly two yezrs old).
So, beware. If following online walkthrough, either install a more recent git-annex (e.g. from Debain backports) or follow instructions from your local
/usr/share/doc/git-annex/html/walkthrough.html
instead.
