Answer 1

EDIT 2:

I suggest you to upgrade Python to a newer version as other user has adviced. This is because f-string was added form Python 3.6 on, check this.

• PEP 498 -- Literal String Interpolation.

1. Step 1:- Install ppa:

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
   

2. Update packeges:

    sudo apt-get update
   

3. Upgrade python 2.x to python 3.6 or higher

    sudo apt-get install python3.6 
   

4. PiP installation:

   sudo apt install python3-pip

Upgrade pip first (which also upgrades setuptools) and then install django again:

pip install -U pip
pip install django

Or:

pip install --upgrade pip 
pip install django

Alternative 2:

sudo python -m pip install --upgrade --force setuptools
sudo python -m pip install --upgrade --force pip
sudo pip install django==3.1

EDIT: As @Ronald Petit stated,keep this in mind:

Django 3.0+ requires python 3.6+ and you are using python 3.5, you need to either update to a newer python (recommended), or specify Django version to be 2.2 (really not recommended)

hence Run

pip install django==2.2

Answer 2

Django 3.0+ requires python 3.6+ and you are using python 3.5, you need to either update to a newer python (recommended), or specify Django version to be 2.2 (really not recommended)

To install an specific django version just do:

pip install django==x.x.x

x.x.x can be replaced for example with 2.2
