Using cabal
As a haskell package, git-annex can be installed using cabal. Start by installing the Haskell Platform, and then:
cabal install git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
That installs the latest release. Alternatively, you can download git-annex yourself and manually build with cabal.
Installation from scratch
This is not recommended, but if you really want to, see fromscratch.
