Django Install

Set up a development structure:

$ mkdir uonProject
$ cd uonProject
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.5 envProject
$ source envProject/bin/activate

You should see sh (envProject) before your prompt, sh (envProject)$ , indicating that your virtualenv is activated.

To deactivate the virtualenv:

$ deactivate

Then reactivate once you’re ready to start developing again.

With your virtualenv activated, install Django with Pip:

$ pip install django==1.8.1

You can check the version by running the following commands:

$ python
>>> import django
>>> django.get_version()
'1.8.1'
>>>
