Those from the Linux (and almost all unices) are used to first look if the |
|---|
| 9 |
software they want is packaged for their distribution. And, yes, there are |
|---|
| 10 |
distributions which package Django! |
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 |
If your distribution is listed below, you are in luck, there's a package |
|---|
| 13 |
for you. |

| 14 |
|

| 15 |
Debian |
|---|
| 16 |
====== |
|---|
| 17 |
On 25-10-2006 Django hit the Debian unstable archive, and it entered testing |
|---|
| 18 |
on time, so the next Debian stable release (etch) will include it! |
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 |
If you are running `etch`_, `sid`_ or have apt sources for them you can simply run: |
|---|
| 21 |
apt-get install python-django |
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 |
Or use your favorite package manager, it's up to you! |
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 |
Due to policy changes on the python packaging on Debian you are not likely to |
|---|
| 26 |
succeed installing those packages on sarge (current stable release). |
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 |
You will also need at least one database backend whose package names are: |
|---|
| 29 |
* python-psycopg |
|---|
| 30 |
* python-psycopg2 |
|---|
| 31 |
* python-pysqlite2 |
|---|
| 32 |
* python-mysqldb |
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 |
And for the ImageField, which requires PIL: python-imaging |
|---|
| 35 |
Also python-ipython is recommended to provide an enhaced shell to manage.py |
