I'm trying to get Django installed and I can't figure out why its not
working. I purchased the book Djang 1.0 web site development and the
install instructions in the book are identical to instructions on the
Django site. It seems simple enough but for some reason I always catch
hell when it comes to these things. I did exactly what I was told to
do I ran the command (tar xzvf Django-1.1.1.tar.gz) from the terminal
and I got an error that said No Such Directory was found and some
other stuff.
I Googled info on how to install Django on Mac OS and was surprised to
find almost no straightforward way to install it. I really would like
to try Django but I can't even get this thing installed. Why doesn't
Mac have an easy way to install stuff. Can someone please help me
figure out what the problem is. Thanks.

having; installing Django 1.1 on my Leopard MacBook Pro was entirely
painless. What errors are you getting at which steps?

If the problem is with extracting the files from the tar.gz, you might
want to make sure that you are using the command tar -xvzf ... and not
tar xvzf (Note the hyphen '-') before the xvzf. These are options passed
to the tar command.
I hope this helps. If this doesn't work, you might want to copy paste
the output from the terminal.
Take care.

Me too, I'm not having any issues. I just installed on 10.6 by
downloading 1.1.1 and running the install command sudo python setup.py
install and no issues. After install I run django-admin.py --version
and it shows 1.1.1
You'll need to give us more info to help.
Are you using sudo? What version of OSX? I wonder what version of
Python you have? Maybe that's the issue?
