When you see D:\Python26\Django-1.0\Django-1.0>python setup.py install in the instructions, the D:\Python26\Django-1.0\Django-1.0> part is intended to indicate that you are running a Windows command shell for which the default drive/directory combination is currently as given (and the assumption is that you have unpacked the Django distribution into that directory). It's the standard prompt for a windows command shell window. The command you enter is python setup.py install Since you obviously have Python installed already, you may benefit from reading http://www.python.org/doc/faq/windows/ but bear in mind that Start>All Programs>Python 2.6 brings up a Python interpreter inside a Windows command shell, not a bare Windows command shell (which is what you need). > Also post intallation I wish to create a Database with username and > password all with the same name ie "myforum" > This is really dependent on the database platform you are planning to use, and not specifically a Django-related question anyway, though it's related enough that I am sure that others on this list will be happy to give you advice once you enlighten us about your choice of database.
