Remove any old versions of Django
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
If you are upgrading your installation of Django from a previous version,
|
||||
you will need to uninstall the old Django version before installing the
|
||||
new version.
|
||||
|
||||
If you installed Django using pip_ or ``easy_install`` previously, installing
|
||||
with pip_ or ``easy_install`` again will automatically take care of the old
|
||||
version, so you don't need to do it yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
If you previously installed Django using ``python setup.py install``,
|
||||
uninstalling is as simple as deleting the ``django`` directory from your Python
|
||||
``site-packages``. To find the directory you need to remove, you can run the
|
||||
following at your shell prompt (not the interactive Python prompt):
|
||||
|
||||
.. console::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python -c "import django; print(django.__path__)"
