git-annex is available in recent versions of Fedora. [status](http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=14145) Should be as simple as: `yum install git-annex` ---- To install the latest version of git-annex on Fedora 18 and later, you can use `cabal`:
# Install dependencies sudo yum install libxml2-devel gnutls-devel libgsasl-devel ghc cabal-install happy alex libidn-devel # Update the cabal list cabal update # Install c2hs, required by dependencies of git-annex, but not automatically installed cabal install --bindir=$HOME/bin c2hs # Install git-annex cabal install --bindir=$HOME/bin git-annex---- Older version? Here's an installation recipe for Fedora 14 through 15.
sudo yum install ghc cabal-install git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ git-annex cd git-annex git checkout ghc7.0 cabal update cabal install --only-dependencies cabal configure cabal build cabal install --bindir=$HOME/binNote: You can't just use `cabal install git-annex`, because Fedora does not yet ship ghc 7.4.
