# Downloading Cheetah

You can download wheels, eggs and tarballs of Cheetah from the Python Package Index.

You can keep up to date with release candidates or other downloads of Cheetah by visiting the CheetahTemplate GitHub page

Note to Windows users: You should install the compiled version of Cheetah’s NameMapper. It is dramatically faster than the pure Python version. Installing from wheels from PyPI is the simplest way to get the precompiled NameMapper extension.
