Django is Python web framework for developing dynamic websites and applications. Using Django we can develop Python web applications faster.

There are number of ways for installing Django, for now I will discuss two ways for installing Django

i) Global install from Packages

ii) Global install through pip

If you want to install Django using Ubuntu repositories, the process is straight forward. Firstly update local packages with apt and then install python-django package:

Install Django in just writing 2 commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-django

Now check the version of django installed by typing

django-admin --version

Output of above command

Install Django through pip:

If you wish to install Django globally then the best way to install it is through pip. Following commands will install Python 3 and Django

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
