How-To: Install Django on Your Linux Server or Development Desktop
I was going to go through the trouble of documenting the process of installing Django on a Debian-based Ubuntu Server, but it looks like the python web-framework has been added to the repository in both Debian and Ubuntu (and a few others). The package has been dubbed python-django, so the install code is simply:
$ sudo apt-get install python-django
To add support for your database of choice (mine is MySQL), install its corresponding adapter (i.e. python-pysqlite2, python-psycopg, python-mysqldb):
$ sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
To add Apache support for production use, install mod-python (note: Django has a development server built-in):
$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-python
To start a test project called “mysite”, do the following (note: a directory called mysite will be created in the directory you’re currently working in):
$ django-admin startproject mysite
Happy coding!
