There are errors when I install django by git?

Question

I install django through :

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

pip install -e django/

I use Ubuntu 16.04.

But

Answer 1

This because django version you have needs python3 interpreter. so try to run the same command using pip3

To install pip3 sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip

then run

pip3 install -e django/

Answer 2

The last Django version does not support python 2.7.

If you really want to use python 2.7 and also use Django you should install a previous Django version.

The latest supported is: 1.11

Therefore, just run:

pip install django==1.11

Answer 3

You can install a Python 2 version of Django using git - you just need to checkout the correct release tag first. Try something like

git clone git://github.com/django/django.git
cd django
git checkout 1.11.0
cd ..
pip install -e django/

That said, you are much better off using pip directly, as other solutions suggest.

Answer 4

Right > c:\Python27\Scripts>pip install django==1.11
Wrong > c:\Python27\Scripts>pip2.7 install django

c:\Python27\Scripts>pip2.7 install django
