We have a -:doc:`complete installation guide </topics/install>` that covers all the -possibilities; this guide will guide you to a simple, minimal installation -that'll work while you walk through the introduction. - -Install Python --------------- - -Being a Python Web framework, Django requires Python. It works with any Python -version from 2.4 to 2.7 (due to backwards -incompatibilities in Python 3.0, Django does not currently work with -Python 3.0; see :doc:`the Django FAQ </faq/install>` for more -information on supported Python versions and the 3.0 transition), but we recommend installing Python 2.5 or later. If you do so, you won't need to set up a database just yet: Python 2.5 or later includes a lightweight database called SQLite_. - -.. _sqlite: http://sqlite.org/ - -Get Python at http://www.python.org. If you're running Linux or Mac OS X, you -probably already have it installed. - -.. admonition:: Django on Jython - - If you use Jython_ (a Python implementation for the Java platform), you'll - need to follow a few additional steps. See :doc:`/howto/jython` for details. - -.. _jython: http://www.jython.org/ - -You can verify that Python's installed by typing ``python`` from your shell; you should see something like:: - - Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17) - [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin - Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. - >>> - -Set up a database ------------------ - -If you installed Python 2.5 or later, you can skip this step for now. - -If not, or if you'd like to work with a "large" database engine like PostgreSQL, -MySQL, or Oracle, consult the :ref:`database installation information -<database-installation>`. - -Remove any old versions of Django ---------------------------------- - -If you are upgrading your installation of Django from a previous version, you -will need to :ref:`uninstall the old Django version before installing the new -version <removing-old-versions-of-django>`. - -Install Django --------------- - -You've got three easy options to install Django: - - * Install a version of Django :doc:`provided by your operating system - distribution </misc/distributions>`. This is the quickest option for those - who have operating systems that distribute Django. - - * :ref:`Install an official release <installing-official-release>`. This - is the best approach for users who want a stable version number and aren't - concerned about running a slightly older version of Django. - - * :ref:`Install the latest development version - <installing-development-version>`. This is best for users who want the - latest-and-greatest features and aren't afraid of running brand-new code. - -.. admonition:: Always refer to the documentation that corresponds to the - version of Django you're using! - - If you do either of the first two steps, keep an eye out for parts of the - documentation marked **new in development version**.
