How can I install Django version 1.5?

Question

If I do pip install django I get version 1.4. If I do pip install Django==1.5 I get the message Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Django==1.5 (from versions: ). If I install the latest version from github I get version 1.6 alpha.

Answer 1

Django 1.5 is still in alpha. You can download a tarball from the download page or you can git clone the github repository and switch to what I think is the 1.5 branch with git checkout stable/1.5.x. I'm not sure why 1.5.x is considered a "stable" branch when it's in alpha, but that's the only branch that obviously qualifies.

Either way, I recommend you do the actual installing with pip install -e (directory name) if you can.

Answer 2

Directly from github repository:

pip install git+git://github.com/django/[email protected]
