Debian maintains a repository of software that is available to download and install easily. The fastest way to do this is from the command line. "apt-get" is the program that will do this for you, you just give it the name of the program you want, and it will download and install it for you automatically.
In the case of Django, you probably just need to run "sudo apt-get install python-django", and it will find django in the repository, plus whatever dependencies it has, like python, and then install them for you. If apt-get finishes running without any errors, then you have django installed. If you're curious, the "sudo" part of the command just says to run it with administrator privileges. It will ask you for your user's password. -- Michael <mhall...@gmail.com> On Thu, 2011-01-20 at 15:46 -0600, Kimberly Harvey wrote: > But in order to do that, don't I need to have the Django source file > somewhere in my computer/ or in my case..
