<p>Before you can use Django, you’ll need to get it installed. We have a
<a class="reference internal" href="../topics/install.html"><span class="doc">complete installation guide</span></a> that covers all the
possibilities; this guide will guide you to a simple, minimal installation
that’ll work while you walk through the introduction.</p>

<span id="install-python"></span><h2>Install Python<a class="headerlink" href="#install-python" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Being a Python Web framework, Django requires Python. See
<a class="reference internal" href="../faq/install.html#faq-python-version-support"><span class="std std-ref">What Python version can I use with Django?</span></a> for details. Python includes a lightweight
database called <a class="reference external" href="http://sqlite.org/">SQLite</a> so you won’t need to set up a database just yet.</p>
<p>Get the latest version of Python at <a class="reference external" href="https://www.python.org/download/">https://www.python.org/download/</a> or with
your operating system’s package manager.</p>
<div class="admonition-django-on-jython admonition">
<p class="first admonition-title">Django on Jython</p>
<p class="last">If you use <a class="reference external" href="http://www.jython.org/">Jython</a> (a Python implementation for the Java platform), you’ll
need to follow a few additional steps. See <a class="reference internal" href="../howto/jython.html"><span class="doc">Running Django on Jython</span></a> for details.</p>
</div>
<p>You can verify that Python is installed by typing <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python</span></code> from your shell;
you should see something like:</p>

<p>If you are upgrading your installation of Django from a previous version, you
will need to <a class="reference internal" href="../topics/install.html#removing-old-versions-of-django"><span class="std std-ref">uninstall the old Django version before installing the new

<p>You’ve got three easy options to install Django:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Install a version of Django <a class="reference internal" href="../misc/distributions.html"><span class="doc">provided by your operating system
distribution</span></a>. This is the quickest option for those
who have operating systems that distribute Django.</li>
<li><a class="reference internal" href="../topics/install.html#installing-official-release"><span class="std std-ref">Install an official release</span></a>. This
is the best approach for most users.</li>
<li><a class="reference internal" href="../topics/install.html#installing-development-version"><span class="std std-ref">Install the latest development version</span></a>. This option is for enthusiasts who want
the latest-and-greatest features and aren’t afraid of running brand new code.
You might encounter new bugs in the development version, but reporting them
helps the development of Django. Also, releases of third-party packages are
less likely to be compatible with the development version than with the
latest stable release.</li>
</ul>
<div class="admonition-always-refer-to-the-documentation-that-corresponds-to-the-version-of-django-you-re-using admonition">
<p class="first admonition-title">Always refer to the documentation that corresponds to the
version of Django you’re using!</p>
<p class="last">If you do either of the first two steps, keep an eye out for parts of the
documentation marked <strong>new in development version</strong>. That phrase flags
features that are only available in development versions of Django, and
they likely won’t work with an official release.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-verifying">
<span id="verifying"></span><h2>Verifying<a class="headerlink" href="#verifying" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>To verify that Django can be seen by Python, type <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python</span></code> from your shell.
Then at the Python prompt, try to import Django:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
>>> import django

<p>You may have another version of Django installed.</p>
