1 Thanks for downloading Django.

     3 To install it, make sure you have Python 2.3 or greater installed. Then run

     4 this command from the command prompt:

     5 

     6     python setup.py install

     7 

     8 Note this requires a working Internet connection if you don't already have the

     9 Python utility "setuptools" installed.

    10 

    11 AS AN ALTERNATIVE, you can just copy the entire "django" directory to Python's

    12 site-packages directory, which is located wherever your Python installation

    13 lives. Some places you might check are:

    14 

    15     /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages (Unix, Python 2.4)

    16     /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages (Unix, Python 2.3)

    17     C:\\PYTHON\site-packages         (Windows)

    18 

    19 This second solution does not require a working Internet connection; it

    20 bypasses "setuptools" entirely.
