Note: [[todo/git-annex_in_debian_sid]] is somewhat outdated, which makes the above Debian and Ubuntu release not quite up to date. The [NeuroDebian team](http://neuro.debian.net/) provides a [standalone build package](http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/git-annex-standalone.html) that is regularly updated and that should work across all releases of Ubuntu and Debian. See [[todo/git-annex-standalone_Debian_package/]] for more information.

## Building it yourself

git-annex is [[Free Software|license]], written in [Haskell](http://www.haskell.org/).
Experienced users should not find it too hard to build and install
it [[from source|fromsource]].
