Building it yourself
git-annex is Free Software, written in Haskell. Experienced users should not find it too hard to build and install it from source.
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.
