Re: Django installation on vanilla Mac OSX 10.8.2 mountain lion

[Sithembewena Lloyd Dube]

I installed Django successfully. If ever caught in the same situation, try
using the "sudo" command :-)

Thanks!

Right: wget isn't necessary when you have a GUI. However, chances are
you'll need gcc for something eventually (e.g., any package that isn't
pure Python), so it's probably worth installing XCode /w command line
tools package (incl. gcc) anyway. I agree it's a hassle to install
everything else when all you want is gcc. It's possible you could get
gcc on it's own:

... not sure if it applies to 10.8.

Re: Django installation on vanilla Mac OSX 10.8.2 mountain lion

[Justin Michalicek]

I install it on my Mac running 10.8.4 using pip on a pretty regular basis 
for starting new projects and testing things.  I use postgres from 
homebrew, virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper installed as system packages, 
then install django as needed into virtualenvs using pip.

Could somebody please point out a safe and straight-forward way to 
install Django on Mountain Lion?


For me, "safe and straight-forward" includes getting my machine set up 
as a full development environment in a reproducible way to support 
multiple projects. If the priority is *not* saving disk space (or 
minimizing download bandwidth), I would suggest the following components:


XCode (compilers etc)
MacPorts (third party apps)
PostgreSQL (from MacPorts postgresql92-server)
virtualenv (from MacPorts py27-virtualenv; this will also probably get 
you python-2.7)


You will want to set up your path to find executables in /opt/local/bin/

Use virtualenv to set up a standalone python installation, and pip to 
get the packages you need for django.


Use the postgres installation to provide more control over versioning 
and the location of your database, setting PGDATA and PGPORT environment 
variables to find your server. When developing, I run my server from the 
command line.

You can get the C compiler using this:

https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer

No need to install XCode.

For me it was as simple as:

download from https://www.djangoproject.com/download/1.5/tarball/
tar xzvf Django-1.5.tar.gz
cd Django-1.5
sudo python setup.py install

Use curl instead, it is included by default in Mac OS X:

Django installation on vanilla Mac OSX 10.8.2 mountain lion

[Sithembewena Lloyd Dube]

Hi everyone,

I just began using a new Mac at work (running OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion) and
it seems such a mission to install Django. Python 2.7.2. is already
installed. Following the official Django installation instructions, I get
no further than trying to get wget-> which I will ned to compile with a C
Compiler -> which I can get by downloading 1+ gigs of xCode. Really?

Could somebody please point out a safe and straight-forward way to install
Django on Mountain Lion?

Thanks.
