How to get Django

Django is available open-source under the BSD license. It requires Python version 2.7 or higher, but it has no dependencies on other Python libraries. There are several ways you can get it:

Option 1. Get the latest official version

The latest official version is 1.7.1.

You can install it with pip:

pip install Django==1.7.1

Option 2. Get the latest development version

The latest and greatest Django version is the one that‘s in our Git repository (our revision-control system). Get it using this shell command, which requires Git:

git clone https://github.com/django/django.git

You can also download a zipped archive of the development version.

下面先采用第一种方法，得先安装pip。pip还是挺好用的，不仅仅是装Django。

Installation

python get-pip.py 

If setuptools (or distribute) is not already installed, get-pip.py will install setuptools for you. 

先下载get-pip.py，然后运行，pip就装好了。

然后通过pip安装Django。

在Python命令行下输入

>>> import django
>>> print django.VERSION
(1, 7, 1, 'final', 0)
>>> 

正确显示了安装的Django版本，表示Django框架已经装好了。
