Installation

1. Add the debug_toolbar directory to your Python path.

2. Add the following middleware to your project's settings.py file:

   'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',

   Tying into middleware allows each panel to be instantiated on request and rendering to happen on response.

3. Add debug_toolbar to your INSTALLED_APPS setting so Django can find the the template files associated with the Debug Toolbar.

4. Add your IP address to INTERNAL_IPS or login with a user who is flagged as is_superuser

5. (Optional) Add a tuple called DEBUG_TOOLBAR_PANELS to your settings.py file that specifies the full Python path to the panel that you want included in the Toolbar. This setting looks very much like the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting. For example:

   # This example is all working panels, not all are active with default settings
   DEBUG_TOOLBAR_PANELS = (
       'debug_toolbar.panels.sql.SQLDebugPanel',
       'debug_toolbar.panels.headers.HeaderDebugPanel',
       'debug_toolbar.panels.cache.CacheDebugPanel',
       'debug_toolbar.panels.profiler.ProfilerDebugPanel',
       'debug_toolbar.panels.request_vars.RequestVarsDebugPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.settings_vars.SettingsVarsDebugPanel',
       'debug_toolbar.panels.templates.TemplatesDebugPanel',
       # If you are using the profiler panel you don't need the timer
       # 'debug_toolbar.panels.timer.TimerDebugPanel',
   )
   

   You can change the ordering of this tuple to customize the order of the panels you want to display.
