Django Unleashed

G.5 Django

With both Python and pip installed on your system, and a virtual environment for your project you can now install Django, as shown in Example G.2.

Example G.2: Shell Code

$ pip install Django

Similarly, this will allow you to quickly install any third-party apps or Python tools needed for your project, as briefly discussed in Chapter 30: Starting a New Project Correctly.

On some systems, you will also need to install SQLite, which is used as the default database in Django (on other systems, such as Mac OS X, the database manager is already installed). You will need to use the system package manager installed in the first step to do this (pip cannot help you).
