Answer 1

I use this command for upgrading any package using pip:

pip install <package-name> --upgrade 

Example: pip install django --upgrade

you need to use the --upgrade or -U flag for upgrading.

Alternatively, you can use python -m pip install -U Django.

Answer 2

From the Django Docs: if you are using a Virtual Environment and it is a major upgrade, you might want to set up a new environment with the dependencies first. Or, if you have installed Django using the PIP, then the below is for you: python3.8 -m pip install -U Django .

Answer 3

sudo pip install --upgrade django

also upgrade the DjangoRestFramework:

sudo pip install --upgrade djangorestframework

Answer 4

You can use --upgrade with the pip command to upgrade Python packages.

pip install --upgrade django==3.3.1

Answer 5

You can use pip install -U django. It will update to the current stable version. Read official documentation on Django Docs

Answer 6

1. Use this command to get all available Django versions: yolk -V django
2. Type pip install -U Django for latest version, or if you want to specify version then use pip install --upgrade django==1.6.5

NOTE: Make sure you test locally with the updated version of Django before updating production.
