install version 2.2.2 (which is the current stable version):

http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/C/Cheetah/Cheetah-2.2.2.tar.gz#md5=e0d89113ab6bb0935d2b67395960264c

    If it returns something, it's installed skip to step #3.


2. Install Setup Tools:
    Extract the archive in ext and install the package
    sudo python setup.py install (no sudo needed for cygwin or windows)

    setuptools
        cd ext
        tar xfvz setuptools-0.6c9.tar.gz
        cd setuptools-0.6c9
        sudo python setup.py install

  * Use Python 2.4.3 as 2.5 generates warnings because the json parser has 
    not been updated yet:

        http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.3/python-2.4.3.msi

  * Extract each of the archives with WinZIP and install as described in

See TAGS for a brief description of the supported tags.  Checking out the
source for the YUI library is a good way to get to know how it works. Ex:

NOTE: This tool will generally work with code that has been commented for
jsdoc, with one exception:  you must have at least one @module block defined
somewhere in your source.  If you don't, the program will run but won't
generate anything.
