## Using cabal

As a haskell package, git-annex can be installed using cabal.
Start by installing the [Haskell Platform](http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/),
and then:

	cabal install git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin

That installs the latest release. Alternatively, you can [[download]]
git-annex yourself and [[manually_build_with_cabal|install/cabal]].

## Installation from scratch

This is not recommended, but if you really want to, see [[fromscratch]].
