Downloading Django

[Dan Elbert]

I am having some trouble installing Django.  The installation documentation is great and I have downloaded Python version 3.4.3 for OS X  but can't seem to complete the download.  I am new to programming so most likely its user error.


Any help or direction would be great.

Thanks

Dan

I am having some trouble installing Django.  The installation documentation is great and I have downloaded Python version 3.4.3 for OS X  but can't seem to complete the download.  I am new to programming so most likely its user error.

I use MacOS for my development machine. If it were me (and when it is, this is how I do it):

1) Install MacPorts

2) Install PostgreSQL and Python from MacPorts

3) Use virtualenv to create a standalone Python environment

4) Enable the virtualenv by sourcing bin/activate

5) Use pip to install other Python packages including Django

6) Work through the Django tutorial

If you have specific difficulties ask the list for help.
