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 ``setup.py install``, uninstalling
is as simple as deleting the ``django`` directory from your Python
``site-packages``.
If you installed Django from a Python Egg, remove the Django ``.egg` file,
and remove the reference to the egg in the file named ``easy-install.pth``.
This file should also be located in your ``site-packages`` directory.
.. admonition:: Where are my ``site-packages`` stored?
The location of the ``site-packages`` directory depends on the operating
system, and the location in which Python was installed. However, the
following locations are common:
* If you're using Linux: ``/usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages``
* If you're using Windows: ``C:\Python2.X\lib\site-packages``
* If you're using MacOSX: ``/Library/Python2.X/site-packages``
Install the Django code
