If using Debian testing or unstable: sudo apt-get install git-annex git-annex is not yet in a Debian stable release, but the source can be built from Debian stable. Just [[download]] it from git, and then in the `git-annex` directory, run `dpkg-checkbuilddeps` and install the necessary packages. You can also run `sudo debian/rules binary` to build a `git-annex.deb`.
