installing django 1.5(development version) in virtualenv

Question

I am trying to start developing a web apps using django 1.5 but I can't figure out how to install the django 1.5 in the virtualenv because django 1.5 is still a development version.

I've tried installing it using easy_install and pip but all I get is django 1.4 because it is the official version.

Can anybody help me with this?

Answer 1

Django 1.5 was released!. To install it use:

pip install django

To install the latest development version without git, on your own risk use:

pip install https://github.com/django/django/zipball/master

Django 1.5 Release Candidate 2 (RC2) was released, and it can be installed using pip without installing git:

pip install https://www.djangoproject.com/download/1.5c2/tarball/

Answer 2

Directly from the github repository.

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