+## Installation by hand using cabal / Setup.hs
+
+You can fetch the dependencies using `cabal install`. Then, you can build git-annex by running:
+
+ runhaskell Setup.hs configure --user
+ runhaskell Setup.hs build
+ runhaskell Setup.hs install --bindir=$HOME/bin
+
+The `--user` option configures the build so that it uses the packages you already have in `~/.cabal`.
