+=====================
+How to install Django
+=====================
+
+This document will get you up and running with Django.
+
+Install Python
+==============
+
+Being a Python Web framework, Django requires Python.
+
+It works with any Python version 2.3 and higher.
+
+Get Python at www.python.org. If you're running Linux or Mac OS X, you probably
+already have it installed.
+
+Install Apache and mod_python
+=============================
+
+If you just want to experiment with Django, skip this step. Django comes with
+its own Web server for development purposes.
+
+If you want to use Django on a production site, use Apache with `mod_python`_.
+mod_python is similar to mod_perl -- it embeds Python within Apache and loads
+Python code into memory when the server starts. Code stays in memory throughout
+the life of an Apache process, which leads to significant performance gains
+over other server arrangements. Make sure you have Apache installed, with the
+mod_python module activated. Django requires Apache 2.x and mod_python 3.x.
+
+See `How to use Django with mod_python`_ for information on how to configure
+mod_python once you have it installed.
+
+If you can't use mod_python for some reason, fear not: Django follows the WSGI_
+spec, which allows it to run on a variety of server platforms. See the
+`server-arrangements wiki page`_ for specific installation instructions for
+each platform.

+
+Get your database running
+=========================
+
+If you plan to use Django's database API functionality, you'll need to
+make sure a database server is running. Django works with PostgreSQL_
+(recommended), MySQL_ and SQLite_.
+
+Additionally, you'll need to make sure your Python database bindings are
+installed.
+
+* If you're using PostgreSQL, you'll need the psycopg_ package (version 2 is
+ recommended with ``postgresql_psycopg2`` backend, version 1.1 works also with the
+ ``postgresql``` backend).
+
+ If you're on Windows, check out the unofficial `compiled Windows version`_.
+
+* If you're using MySQL, you'll need MySQLdb_, version 1.2.1p2 or higher.
+
+* If you're using SQLite, you'll need pysqlite_. Use version 2.0.3 or higher.

+
+Install the Django code
+=======================
+
+Installation instructions are slightly different depending on whether you're
+using the latest official version or the latest development version.
+
+It's easy either way.
+
+Installing the official version
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ 1. Check the `distribution specific notes`_ to see if your
+ platform/distribution provides official Django packages/installers.
+ Distribution-provided packages will typically allow for automatic
+ installation of dependancies and easy upgrade paths.
+
+ 2. Download Django-0.95.tar.gz from our `download page`_.
+
+ 3. ``tar xzvf Django-0.95.tar.gz``
+
+ 4. ``cd Django-0.95``
+
+ 5. ``sudo python setup.py install``
+
+Note that the last command will automatically download and install setuptools_
+if you don't already have it installed. This requires a working Internet
+connection and may cause problems on Python 2.5. If you run into problems,
+try using our development version by following the instructions below. The
+development version no longer uses setuptools nor requires an Internet
+connection.
+
+The command will install Django in your Python installation's ``site-packages``
+directory.
+
+.. _setuptools: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools
+.. _distribution specific notes: ../distributions/
+
+Installing the development version
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you'd like to be able to update your Django code occasionally with the
+latest bug fixes and improvements, follow these instructions:
+
+1. Make sure you have Subversion_ installed.
+2. Check out the Django code into your Python ``site-packages`` directory.
+ On Linux / Mac OSX / Unix, do this::
+
+ svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/ django_src
+ ln -s `pwd`/django_src/django /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django
+
+ (In the above line, change ``python2.3`` to match your current Python version.)
+
+ On Windows, do this::
+
+ svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/django c:\Python24\lib\site-packages\django
+
+3. Copy the file ``django_src/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.
+
+You *don't* have to run ``python setup.py install``, because that command
+takes care of steps 2 and 3 for you.
+
+When you want to update your copy of the Django source code, just run the
+command ``svn update`` from within the ``django`` directory. When you do this,
+Subversion will automatically download any changes.
