How to install latest version of Django 1.5 using pip?

Question

I want to install django1.5x. So I tried:

pip install django

but django1.6 gets installed.

I tried again by:

pip install django==1.5

but I got error:

Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement django==1.5
No distributions at all found for django==1.5
Storing complete log in /home/suhail/.pip/pip.log

Answer 1

pip install django=="1.5"

works for me

pip install django=="1.5"
Downloading/unpacking django==1.5
Downloading Django-1.5.tar.gz (8.0MB): 8.0MB downloaded
Running setup.py egg_info for package django

What version of Python are you using?

Answer 2

Specify version as <1.6:

pip install "Django<1.6"

This installs Django 1.5.5 for now.

NOTE: Don't forget the quotes. otherwise < is interpreted as redirection.

Answer 3

Did you try to give the exact version number?

pip install django==1.5.5
