From crates.io
You'll need to have the Rust development environment installed and up to date.
Once it's installed, use cargo to install lfs:
cargo install lfs
From source
You'll need to have the Rust development environment installed.
Fetch the Canop/lfs repository, move to the lfs directory, then run
cargo install --path .
Note
If there's a compilation error, it most often means either that you're missing some compilation dependency (on ubuntu/debian try sudo apt install build-essential) or that you have an old version of the compiler, and you should update it (for example with rustup update).
Third party repositories
Those packages are maintained by third parties and may be less up to date.
Arch Linux
lfs can be installed from the community repository:
