try start from using the mkvirtualenv it will help you now and in the future there is no need for a machine wide django installation I'm writing these commands from the memory, please correct if needed as root do: $> easy_install pip $> pip install virtualenv $> pip install mkvirtualenv then for general working with django you can $> mkvirtualenv django --no-site-packages it will create a clean virtual environment with python installed it will also switch it on, so your prompt will have it's name install django with (django)$> pip install Django you'd need to install other packages if you need them if you want to switch to this environment in different terminal simply $> workon django (django) $> to switch off the environment: (django) $> deactivate $> it is good because you may have a lot of these, you may test newer django versions without installing it for the whole computer. you may also (and that's the best part) have the separate virtual environment for every project. zalun -- blog http://piotr.zalewa.info jobs http://webdev.zalewa.info twit http://twitter.com/zalun face http://facebook.com/zaloon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
