This is a .dmz file that bundles all the dependencies +(git, etc) in, so it can be installed with one click. + +It seems to basically work. You can get it [[here|install/OSX]]. + +Unfortunatly, the [[bugs/pasting_into_annex_on_OSX]] bug resurfaced while +testing this.. So I can't really recommend using it on real data yet. + +Still, any testing you can do is gonna be really helpful. I'm squashing OSX +bugs right and left. + +## on Linux + +First of all, the git-annex assistant is now available in Debian unstable, +and in Arch Linux's AUR. Proper packages. + +For all the other Linux distributions, I have a workaround. It's +a big hack, but it seems to work.. at least on Debian stable. + +I've just put up a [[install/linux_standalone_tarball]], which has **no +library dependencies** apart from glibc, and doesn't even need git to be +installed on your system. + +## on FreeBSD + +The FreeBSD port has been updated to include the git-annex assistant too.. |
