How to install Django
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This document will get you up and running with Django.
|
|
|
|
Install Apache and mod_python
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Currently, Django runs on Apache_ with `mod_python`_, although we're planning
|
|
full WSGI support, which means Django will run on a variety of server
|
|
platforms.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have Apache installed, with the mod_python module activated.
|
|
|
|
.. _Apache: http://httpd.apache.org/
|
|
.. _mod_python: http://www.modpython.org/
|
|
|
|
Get your database running
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
If you plan to use Django's database API functionality, you'll need to
|
|
make sure a database server is running. Django works with PostgreSQL_
|
|
(recommended) or MySQL_.
|
|
|
|
.. _PostgreSQL: http://www.postgresql.org/
|
|
.. _MySQL: http://www.mysql.com/
|
|
|
|
Install the Django code
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Installation instructions are slightly different depending on whether you're
|
|
using the latest official version or the latest development version.
|
|
|
|
It's easy either way.
|
|
|
|
Installing the official version
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
1. Download the tarball of the latest official version from our `download page`_.
|
|
2. ``tar xzvf django-1.0.0.tar.gz``
|
|
3. ``cd django-1.0.0``
|
|
4. ``python setup.py install``
|
|
|
|
Installing the development version
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you have Subversion_ installed.
|
|
2. ``svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/ django_src``
|
|
3. Symlink ``django_src/django`` so that ``django`` is within your Python
|
|
``site-packages`` directory:
|
|
|
|
``ln -s django_src/django /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django``
|
|
|
|
(In the above line, change ``python2.3`` to match your current Python version.)
|
|
|
|
When you want to update your code, just run the command ``svn update`` from
|
|
within the ``django_src`` directory.
