+This is not a recommended way to install git-annex. Use [[HomeBrew]] or the
+prebuilt app bundle instead.
+
+But if you really want to use MacPorts:
+
+Install the Haskell Platform from [[http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html]].
+The version provided by Macports is too old to work with current versions of git-annex.
+Then execute
+
+<pre>
+sudo port install git-core ossp-uuid md5sha1sum coreutils gnutls libxml2 libgsasl pkgconfig
+sudo cabal update
+PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
+cabal install c2hs git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
+</pre>
+
+## PATH setup
+
+Do not forget to add to your PATH variable your ~/bin folder. In your .bashrc, for example:
+<pre>
+PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
+</pre>
