## Installation Steps
(1) In the DSM Package Center, install Git, which is available from Synology (no third-party repository needed).
+
(2) Download the latest [[standalone|install/Linux_standalone]] git-annex build for Linux on armel.
+
(3) Extract it somewhere sensible (eg: a bin/ directory your users home directory)
+
(4) Go into the git-annex.linux directory and ./runshell. You can now run git-annex as you normally would.
## How to sync with the Synology NAS
### On the Synology
(1) Setup port forwarding and associated dynamic dns, if applicable. Many good guides online for this.
+
(2) Setup ssh key based authentication with the Synology for each computer you want to sync with it. You want a specific key that is used only by git-annex, for each computer. Again, many good guides online.

(3) In the Synology .ssh/authorized_keys file for your account, add (substituing your username)

(4) the git-annex-shell script in your .ssh should be created for you aftering your initial ./runshell

(5) Double check that the script points to the correct directory of where your extracted git-annex.linux lives.
### On the other computers - the manual way
(1) See step 2 above about creating the specific git-annex ssh keys.
+
(2) In your .ssh/config, create an alias for your Synology that includes specifying the right sshkey. For example, mine looks like:
[[!format sh """
Host synologyhost
HostName mydynamicdomain.no-ip.org
IdentityFile /home/greg/.ssh/annex_rsa
