Getting started with CheetahEdit
Obtaining Cheetah
http://cheetahtemplate.org/download.html
wget http://belnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/cheetahtemplate/Cheetah-2.0rc7.tar.gz
tar zxvf Cheetah-2.0rc7.tar.gz
Installing on Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.8
http://cheetahtemplate.org/docs/users_guide_html_multipage/gettingStarted.install.html
cd Cheetah-2.0rc7
sudo python setup.py install
In reality this installs into /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin (alongside) python so it makes sense to add this to the path then run the tests:
PATH=$PATH:/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin
cheetah test
All tests should pass:
Ran 2050 tests in 31.012s
Uninstalling
sudo rm -rf /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/Cheetah
sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/cheetah
sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/cheetah-compile
Installing with Python 2.5
sudo rm -rf /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/Cheetah
sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/cheetah
sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/cheetah-compile
After installing Python 2.5 I re-installed Cheetah:
cd Cheetah-2.0rc7
sudo python setup.py install
cheetah test
This installs the cheetah and cheetah-compile binaries into /usr/local/bin/ and the other Cheetah files into /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Cheetah/.
