<meta name="Description" content="Cherokee is a flexible, very fast, lightweight Web server. It is implemented entirely in C, and has no dependencies beyond a standard C library. It is embeddable and extensible with plug-ins. It supports on-the-fly configuration by reading files or strings, TLS/SSL (via GNUTLS or OpenSSL), virtual hosts, authentication, cache friendly features, PHP, custom error management, and much more." />

<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 Subversion repository. Be advised, this is the
development branch, so use it at your own risk!</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>To download simply use your Subversion client:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>svn co svn://svn.cherokee-project.com/cherokee/trunk cherokee</tt></pre>
</div></div>
