| 8 | 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.
|

|

| 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
