How to install Django on Windows
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
This document will guide you through installing Python and Django for basic
|
||||
usage on Windows. This is meant as a beginner's guide for users working on
|
||||
Django projects and does not reflect how Django should be installed when
|
||||
developing patches for Django itself.
|
||||
|
||||
The steps in this guide have been tested with Windows 7 and 8. In other
|
||||
versions, the steps would be similar.
|
||||
|
||||
Install Python
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Django is a Python web framework, thus requiring Python to be installed on your
|
||||
machine.
|
||||
|
||||
To install Python on your machine go to http://python.org/download/, and
|
||||
download a Windows MSI installer for Python. Once downloaded, run the MSI
|
||||
installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
After installation, open the command prompt and check the Python version by
|
||||
executing ``python --version``. If you encounter a problem, make sure you
|
||||
have set the ``PATH`` variable correctly. You might need to adjust your
|
||||
``PATH`` environment variable to include paths to the Python executable and
|
||||
additional scripts. For example, if your Python is installed in
|
||||
``C:\Python34\``, the following paths need to be added to ``PATH``::
|
||||
|
||||
C:\Python34\;C:\Python34\Scripts;
|
||||
|
||||
Install Setuptools
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
To install Python packages on your computer, Setuptools is needed. Download the
|
||||
latest version of `Setuptools <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_ for
|
||||
your Python version and follow the installation instructions given there.
|
||||
|
||||
Install PIP
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
`PIP <http://www.pip-installer.org/>`_ is a package manager for Python that
|
||||
uses the `Python Package Index <http://pypi.python.org>`_ to install Python
|
||||
packages. PIP will later be used to install Django from PyPI.
|
||||
|
||||
Open a command prompt and execute ``easy_install pip``. This will install
|
||||
``pip`` on your system. This command will work if you have successfully
|
||||
installed Setuptools.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, go to `<http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html>`_
|
||||
for installing/upgrading instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
Install Django
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Django can be installed easily using ``pip``.
|
||||
|
||||
In the command prompt, execute the following command: ``pip install django``.
|
||||
This will download and install Django.
|
||||
|
||||
After the installation has completed, you can verify your Django installation
|
||||
by executing ``django-admin.py --version`` in the command prompt.
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionchanged:: 1.7
|
||||
|
||||
In Django 1.7, a ``.exe`` has been introduced, so just use
|
||||
``django-admin`` in place of ``django-admin.py`` in the command prompt.
|
||||
|
||||
See :ref:`database-installation` for information on database installation
|
||||
with Django.
|
||||
|
||||
Common pitfalls
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
* If ``django-admin.py`` only displays the help text no matter what arguments
|
||||
it is given, there is probably a problem with the file association in
|
||||
Windows. Check if there is more than one environment variable set for
|
||||
running Python scripts in ``PATH``. This usually occurs when there is more
|
||||
than one Python version installed.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you are connecting to the internet behind a proxy, there might be problem
|
||||
in running the commands ``easy_install pip`` and ``pip install django``.
|
||||
Set the environment variables for proxy configuration in the command prompt
|
||||
as follows::
|
||||
|
||||
set http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:proxyport
|
||||
set https_proxy=https://username:password@proxyserver:proxyport
|
||||
|
||||
* Executing ``django-admin.py`` opens up a text file. This is due to the text
|
||||
editor being the default program for ``.py`` files. This must be changed
|
||||
to the ``python.exe`` located in the folder where Python is installed.

|

.. admonition:: Python on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows, you might need to adjust your ``PATH`` environment variable
|
||||
to include paths to Python executable and additional scripts. For example,

||||
if your Python is installed in ``C:\Python27\``, the following paths need

to be added to ``PATH``::
