Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
To install it on your Ubuntu, follow the next steps:
1. Install python (if you have it installed, skip this step)
|
1 |
sudo apt-get install python |
2. Download the tarball from the Django Project website. You can download this file to your home directory.
|
1 |
cd |
|
1 |
wget http://www.djangoproject.com/download/1.0.2/tarball/ |
|
1 |
tar xzvf Django-1.0.2-final.tar.gz |
3. Now we can just move this entire package to somewhere logical. You can move it anywhere you like, but remember to modify the links accordingly. I use /usr/local/lib/.
|
1 |
sudo mv Django-1.0.2-final/ /usr/local/lib/django-1.0.2/ |
4. Link to it from the Python site-packages directory, and create a link to the django-admin.py executable.
|
1 |
cd /usr/local/lib/django-1.0.2/ |
|
1 |
sudo ln -s `pwd`/django /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django |
|
1 |
sudo ln -s `pwd`/django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/bin/ |
5. Test it by changing to your home directory and running django-admin!
|
1 |
django-admin.py --version |
You should see this:
|
1 |
1.0.2 final |
6. Happy programming!
