Note that the last command will automatically download and install setuptools_
if you don't already have it installed. This requires a working Internet
connection and may cause problems on Python 2.5. If you run into problems,
try using our development version by following the instructions below. The
development version no longer uses setuptools nor requires an Internet

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:
If you'd like to be able to update your Django code occasionally with the
latest bug fixes and improvements, follow these instructions:
``ln -s `pwd`/django_src/django /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django``
1. Make sure you have Subversion_ installed.
2. Check out the Django code into your Python ``site-packages`` directory.
On Linux / Mac OSX / Unix, do this::
svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/ django_src
ln -s `pwd`/django_src/django /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django
(In the above line, change ``python2.3`` to match your current Python version.)
You don't have to run ``python setup.py install``.
On Windows, do this::
When you want to update your code, just run the command ``svn update`` from
within the ``django_src`` directory.
svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/django c:\Python24\lib\site-packages\django
4. Copy the file ``django_src/django/bin/django-admin.py`` to somewhere on your
system path, such as ``/usr/local/bin`` (Unix) or ``C:\Python24\Scripts``
(Windows). This step simply lets you type ``django-admin.py`` from within
any directory, rather than having to qualify the command with the full path
to the file.
You *don't* have to run ``python setup.py install``, because that command
takes care of steps 3 and 4 for you.
When you want to update your copy of the Django source code, just run the
command ``svn update`` from within the ``django`` directory. When you do this,
Subversion will automatically download any changes.
