These binaries work without requiring specific installation steps. Just drop
them into a directory in your ``PATH`` and then you can run ``borg``. If a new
version is released, you will have to manually download it and replace the old
version.
To install such a binary, just drop it into a directory in your ``PATH``,
make borg readable and executable for its users and then you can run ``borg``::
sudo cp borg-linux64 /usr/local/bin/borg
sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/borg
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/borg
If a new version is released, you will have to manually download it and replace
the old version using the same steps as shown above.
