=====================
How to install Django
=====================

Installation instructions are slightly different depending on whether you're
using the latest official version or the latest development version.

It's easy either way.

Installing the official version
===============================

1. Download the tarball of the latest official version from our ``download page``_.
2. ``cd django-1.0.0.tar.gz``
3. ``python setup.py install``

Installing the development version
==================================

1. Make sure you have ``Subversion``_ installed.
2. ``svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/ django_src``
3. Symlink ``django_src/django`` so that ``django`` is within your Python
``site-packages`` directory:
``ln -s django_src/django /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django``
Change ``python2.3`` to match your current Python version.

When you want to update your code, just run the command ``svn update`` from
within the ``django_src`` directory.
