Quote from Practical Django Projects, Second Edition, by James Bennett ISBN-13 (electronic): 978-1-4302-1939-2: Installing Django Now that you’ve got Python installed and working, it’s time to install Django and start exploring its features. You can get a copy from the official Django web site; visit www.djangoproject. com/download/ and follow the instructions for downloading the latest official release (which should be Django 1.1 by the time this book goes to press). Once you’ve downloaded the Django code onto your computer, you can install it by typing a single command. On Linux or Mac OS X, open a terminal, navigate to the directory where Django was downloaded, and locate a file named setup.py. Type the following command, and enter your password when prompted: sudo python setup.py install On Windows, you’ll need to open a command prompt with administrative privileges. Then you can navigate to the Django directory and type the following: python setup.py install The setup.py script is a standard installation procedure for Python modules, and it takes care of installing all the relevant Django code into the correct locations for your operating system. If you’re curious, Table 1-1 summarizes where the Django code will end up on various systems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
