-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-1. Download the latest release from our `download page`_.
-
-2. Untar the downloaded file (e.g. ``tar xzvf Django-X.Y.tar.gz``,
-   where ``X.Y`` is the version number of the latest release).
-   If you're using Windows, you can download the command-line tool
-   bsdtar_ to do this, or you can use a GUI-based tool such as 7-zip_.
-
-3. Change into the directory created in step 2 (e.g. ``cd Django-X.Y``).
-
-4. If you're using Linux, Mac OS X or some other flavor of Unix, enter the

-
-       If you use this installation technique, it is particularly important
-       that you :ref:`remove any existing
-       installations<removing-old-versions-of-django>` of Django
-       first. Otherwise, you can end up with a broken installation that
-       includes files from previous versions that have since been removed from
-       Django.

-Installing the development version without pip
-----------------------------------------------
-
-If you don't have pip_, you can instead manually `modify Python's search
-path`_.
-
-First follow steps 1 and 2 above, so that you have a ``django-trunk`` directory
-with a checkout of Django's latest code in it. Then add a ``.pth`` file
-containing the full path to the ``django-trunk`` directory to your system's
-``site-packages`` directory. For example, on a Unix-like system:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ echo WORKING-DIR/django-trunk > SITE-PACKAGES-DIR/django.pth
-
-In the above line, change ``WORKING-DIR/django-trunk`` to match the full path
-to your new ``django-trunk`` directory, and change ``SITE-PACKAGES-DIR`` to
-match the location of your system's ``site-packages`` directory.
-
-The location of the ``site-packages`` directory depends on the operating
-system, and the location in which Python was installed. To find your system's
-``site-packages`` location, execute the following:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())"
-
-(Note that this should be run from a shell prompt, not a Python interactive
-prompt.)
-
-Some Debian-based Linux distributions have separate ``site-packages``
-directories for user-installed packages, such as when installing Django from
-a downloaded tarball. The command listed above will give you the system's
-``site-packages``, the user's directory can be found in ``/usr/local/lib/``
-instead of ``/usr/lib/``.
-
-Next you need to make the ``django-admin.py`` utility available in your
-shell PATH.
-
-On Unix-like systems, create a symbolic link to the file
-``django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin`` in a directory on your system
-path, such as ``/usr/local/bin``. For example:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ln -s WORKING-DIR/django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/bin/
-
-(In the above line, change WORKING-DIR to match the full path to your new
-``django-trunk`` directory.)
-
-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:\Python27\Scripts``.
-
-Note that the rest of the documentation assumes this utility is installed
-as ``django-admin``. You'll have to substitute ``django-admin.py`` if you use
-this method.
