.. _How to use Django with mod_python: ../modpython/
4. Copy the file ``django-trunk/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.
4. On Unix-like systems, create a symbolic link to the file
``django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py`` in a directory on your system
path, such as ``/usr/local/bin``. For example::
ln -s `pwd`/django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/bin
This 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.
On Windows systems, the same result can be achieved by copying the file
``django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py`` to somewhere on your system
path, for example ``C:\Python24\Scripts``.
You *don't* have to run ``python setup.py install``, because you've already
carried out the equivalent actions in steps 3 and 4.
