Hands-On Python Deep Learning for the Web

Getting started with Django

The foremost step before using Django is to install it. Fortunately, the framework is easily installable as a module from the Python PIP repository. It is also available on the Conda repository. To install Django, open a new terminal window and use the following command:

conda install django

Alternatively, if you prefer PIP, use the following command:

pip install django

This will install the Django module to your Python environment.

To check whether it has been successfully installed, use the following command in the terminal:

python -m django --version

This should produce an output of a version number—for example, - 2.0.8. If not, check your installation of Django.
