If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/cherokee
%  sudo port install cherokee

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching cherokee
--->  Verifying checksum for cherokee
--->  Extracting cherokee
--->  Configuring cherokee
--->  Building cherokee with target all

--->  Staging cherokee into destroot

--->  Installing cherokee

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using cherokee with these commands:

%  man cherokee
%  apropos cherokee
%  which cherokee
%  locate cherokee
