Installation guide¶
The 1.3 release of django-project-portfolio supports Django 1.8, 1.10, and 1.11 on the following Python versions (matching the versions supported by Django itself):
- Django 1.8 supports Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5.
- Django 1.10 supports Python 2.7, 3.4, and 3.5.
- Django 1.11 supports Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6
Important
Python 3.2
Although Django 1.8 supported Python 3.2 at the time of its release, the Python 3.2 series has reached end-of-life, and as a result support for Python 3.2 has been dropped from django-project-portfolio.
If you do not already have a supported version of Django installed, installing django-project-portfolio will install the latest release of Django automatically as a dependency.
Normal installation¶
The preferred method of installing django-project-portfolio is via
pip, the standard Python package-installation tool. If you don’t
have pip, instructions are available for how to obtain and
install it. If
you’re using Python 2.7.9 or later (for Python 2) or Python 3.4 or
later (for Python 3), pip came bundled with your installation of
Python.
Once you have pip, type:
pip install django-project-portfolio
Installing from a source checkout¶
If you want to work on django-project-portfolio, you can obtain a source checkout.
The development repository for django-project-portfolio is at <https://github.com/ubernostrum/django-project-portfolio>. If you have git installed, you can obtain a copy of the repository by typing:
git clone https://github.com/ubernostrum/django-project-portfolio.git
From there, you can use normal git commands to check out the specific
revision you want, and install it using pip install -e . (the
-e flag specifies an “editable” install, allowing you to change
code as you work on django-project-portfolio, and have your changes
picked up automatically).
