Download
--------

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.

Anyway, we provide binary packages for some operating systems and
GNU/Linux distributions:
