Yes, those are linux commands - you need to be in the directory.

I've not installed on Windows, but sudo wont work either, FYI. Run the
cmd as administrator and you wouldn't need it

you should use pip to install, why are you installing from source?

if you are worried about filling your python installation with lots of stuff you should use virtualenv

[Laxmikant Gurnalkar]

On Windows Use 7zip software to install extract tarballs (tar.gz files) and use extracted folder as a extracted zip use

In Command prompt type 

(Supposed that you are extractng django on C drive) 

cd\ <enter>

cd Django-1.4.2 
then check your python installed directory pythonXX where, xx is version.

Then type

c:\pythonxx\python.exe setup.py install

This will install django

Yeah,

those are CLI commands. Although "tar" and "sudo" would not work with windows as they are linux terminal commands. you may follow this easy step by step procedure on how to setup django on windows. Though this was written for windows 7 but the steps are the same for windows XP as well. Only difference is that in windows vista or 7 you need to launch the command prompt specifically as an administrator.

I am installing Django for Python on Win XP and came across this problem during installation:
 

tar xzvf Django-1.4.2.tar.gz
cd Django-1.4.2
sudo python setup.py install


What does "cd" mean? DOes it mean that I have to use command line to type it?

And if you want to go through slightly more complex setup than provided
here and use virtualenv I wrote short tutorial as well:
