Seting Up The environment

Make sure Python 3 is installed

You can verify that Python is installed by typing python3 from your shell; you should see something like:

Python 3.4.* (default, Nov 26 2013, 13:33:18)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Install pip3:

On Ubuntu, simply run:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Install Cassandra (make sure it's 2.1.11 that you're installing)

Install Virtualenv and setup the environment

Virtulenv is a tool that allows you sandbox your python projects. you can install packages directly in the sandbox without affecting your global environment. To install virtualenv, just run

sudo pip3 install virtualenv

once virtualenv is installed, choose a suitable directory name (for example ENV) and run

virtualenv ENV

now to use the environment that you just created simply run the command

source ENV/bin/activate

note that your shell prompt now starts with (ENV) which means that all your python commands that you run on this current shell, will be the ones installed in this virtualenv.

(ENV)yourprompt$

To deactivate the virtualenv you can simply run

deactivate

Make sure your virtualenv is activated before installing the following.

Install Django:

pip3 install django

Verifying:

To verify that Django can be seen by Python, type python3 from your shell. Then at the Python prompt, try to import Django:

>>> import django
>>> print(django.get_version())
1.8
