sudo python setup.py install.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOn Windows, we recommend using 7-Zip to handle all manner of compressed files, including .tar.gz. Change into some other directory and start python. If everything worked, you should be able to import the module django:<\/p>\n
>> import django\n\n >> django.VERSION\n\n (0, 96, None)<\/pre>\nThe Python interactive interpreter is a command-line program that lets you write a Python program interactively. To start it, just run the command python at the command line. Throughout this book, we feature example Python code that\u2019s printed as if it\u2019s being entered in the interactive interpreter. The triple greater-than signs (>>>) signify a Python prompt.<\/p>\n
Installing an official release with pip<\/strong> – This is the recommended way to install Django.<\/p>\n\n- Install pip. The easiest is to use the standalone pip installer. If your distribution already has pip installed, you might need to update it if it\u2019s outdated. If it\u2019s outdated, you\u2019ll know because installation won\u2019t work.<\/li>\n
- Take a look at virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper. These tools provide isolated Python environments, which are more practical than installing packages systemwide. They also allow installing packages without administrator privileges. The contributing tutorial walks through how to create a virtualenv.<\/li>\n
- After you\u2019ve created and activated a virtual environment, enter the command pip install Django at the shell prompt. As, to install Django 2.0.5 stable version to the server with pip command – pip install Django==2.0.5<\/li>\n
- After the installation is complete, check the Django version with the command – django-admin –version<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Install Django with Virtualenv<\/strong> – Virtualenv is a python environment builder. It is used to create isolated python environments. We can choose the version of python that will be installed in the virtualenv environment. This is very useful for developers, they can run and develop an application with different python versions and different environments on one OS. Virtualenv is available on PyPI repository – we can install it with the pip command – pip install virtualenv<\/p>\nNow we can use the virtualenv command to create a new environment with python3 as default python version. So let’s create a new environment “env01” with python3 as the python version and pip3 for the django installation.<\/p>\n
virtualenv --python=python3 env01<\/pre>\nThe command will create a new directory called ‘env01’ which contains the directories bin, include and lib for pyhton. The virtualenv has been created, now let’s log into the new environment with the following command:<\/p>\n
cd env01\/\n\nsource bin\/activate\n\nNext, install Django in the the virtual environment that we've created - pip install django==2.0.5\nWhen the installation finished, check the Django installation - django-admin --version<\/pre>\nInstall Django from Git Repository<\/strong> – In order to install Django from the Git Repository, we need to install git to the system.<\/p>\n
