<div class="paragraph"><p>Cherokee can be downloaded from the Cherokee Web Server download site
or any of its mirrors. Some users of Cherokee on unix-like systems
will be better off downloading and compiling a source version. The
build process is easy, and it allows you to customize your server to
suit your needs.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Anyway, we provide binary packages for some operating systems and
GNU/Linux distributions:

<div class="paragraph"><p>If you know the URL of the cherokee sources that you would like to download,
for example, cherokee-x.y.z.tar.gz, you can just use the follow command:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>wget http://www.cherokee-project.com/download/x.y/x.y.z/cherokee-x.y.z.tar.gz \
-O - | gzip -dc - | tar xfv -</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The latest release is at your disposal with:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>wget http://www.cherokee-project.com/cherokee-latest-tarball -O -| tar zxvf -</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Finally, if you are a developer or simply want to test out the bleeding edge
version, you can access our Git repository. Be advised, this is the
development branch, so use it at your own risk!</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>To take a copy of our source code repository, simply use:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>git clone --recursive https://github.com/cherokee/webserver.git</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This will also retrieve the relevant Git submodules we use for this project.
If you are using a version of Git that is earlier than version 1.6.5, then
you will need to use the following commands:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>git clone https://github.com/cherokee/webserver.git
cd webserver
git submodule update --init</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can also download a package with the latest contents of the Git repository:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>wget https://github.com/cherokee/webserver/zipball/dev</tt></pre>
