<p>As a Python developer, I love using Django for web development. Its built-in features and clear code structure make building scalable and robust web applications fast and efficient. In fact, I used Django to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://app.finxter.com" data-type="URL" data-id="https://app.finxter.com" target="_blank">build my own web app</a> for Python testing and training.</p>
<p>Here’s how you can install Django:</p>

<p>To install the updated Django framework on your Windows machine, run the following code in your command line or <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/powershell-developer-income-and-opportunity/" data-type="post" data-id="202163" target="_blank">Powershell</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip</code></li>
<li><code>python3 -m pip install --upgrade django</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Here’s the code for copy&pasting:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

<p>The simplest way to install Django in PyCharm is to open the terminal tab and run the <code>pip install django</code> command.</p>
<p>This is shown in the following code:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">pip install django</pre>
<p>Here’s a screenshot of the two steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open Terminal tab in Pycharm</li>
<li>Run <code>pip install django</code> in the terminal to install Django in a<a rel="noreferrer noopener" title="Python Virtual Environments with Conda — Why the Buzz?" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-virtual-environments-conda/" target="_blank"> virtual environment</a>.</li>
</ol>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="550" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-137-1024x550.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1199893" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-137-1024x550.png 1024w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...00x161.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...68x413.png 768w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...36x826.png 1536w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...ge-137.png 1853w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
</div>
<p>As an alternative, you can also search for Django in the package manager. </p>
<p>However, this is usually an inferior way to install packages because it involves more steps.</p>
<h2>How to Install Django in Anaconda?</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="290" height="80" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image-106.png" alt="" class="wp-image-883389"/></figure>
</div>
<p>You can install the Django package with Conda using the command <code>conda install -c anaconda django</code> in your shell or terminal.</p>
<p>Like so:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group=""> conda install -c anaconda django </pre>
<p>This assumes you’ve already installed <code>conda</code> on your computer. If you haven’t check out the installation steps on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://anaconda.org/" href="https://anaconda.org/" target="_blank">official page.</a></p>
<h2>How to Install Django in VSCode?</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="282" height="66" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image-107.png" alt="" class="wp-image-883415"/></a></figure>
</div>
<p>You can install Django in VSCode by using the same command <code>pip install django</code> in your <strong><em>Visual Studio Code</em></strong> shell or terminal. </p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">pip install django</pre>
<p>If this doesn’t work — it may raise a <code>No module named 'django'</code> error — chances are that you’ve installed it for the wrong Python version on your system.</p>
<p>To check which version your VS Code environment uses, run these two commands in your Python program to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/how-to-check-your-python-version/" data-type="post" data-id="1371" target="_blank">check the version</a> that executes it:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">import sys
print(sys.executable)</pre>
<p>The output will be the path to the Python installation that runs the code in VS Code. </p>
<p>Now, you can use this path to install Django, particularly for that Python version:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">/path/to/vscode/python -m pip install django</pre>
<p>Wait until the installation is complete and run your code using <code>django</code> again. It should work now!</p>

<p>As a Python developer, I love using Django for web development. Its built-in features and clear code structure make building scalable and robust web applications fast and efficient. In fact, I used Django to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://app.finxter.com" data-type="URL" data-id="https://app.finxter.com" target="_blank">build my own web app</a> for Python testing and training.</p>
<p>Here’s how you can install Django:</p>

<p>To install the updated Django framework on your Windows machine, run the following code in your command line or <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/powershell-developer-income-and-opportunity/" data-type="post" data-id="202163" target="_blank">Powershell</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip</code></li>
<li><code>python3 -m pip install --upgrade django</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Here’s the code for copy&pasting:</p>

<p>The simplest way to install Django in PyCharm is to open the terminal tab and run the <code>pip install django</code> command.</p>
<p>This is shown in the following code:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">pip install django</pre>
<p>Here’s a screenshot of the two steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open Terminal tab in Pycharm</li>
<li>Run <code>pip install django</code> in the terminal to install Django in a<a rel="noreferrer noopener" title="Python Virtual Environments with Conda — Why the Buzz?" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-virtual-environments-conda/" target="_blank"> virtual environment</a>.</li>
</ol>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="550" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-137-1024x550.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1199893" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-137-1024x550.png 1024w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...00x161.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...68x413.png 768w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...36x826.png 1536w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...ge-137.png 1853w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
</div>
<p>As an alternative, you can also search for Django in the package manager. </p>
<p>However, this is usually an inferior way to install packages because it involves more steps.</p>
<h2>How to Install Django in Anaconda?</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="290" height="80" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image-106.png" alt="" class="wp-image-883389"/></figure>
</div>
<p>You can install the Django package with Conda using the command <code>conda install -c anaconda django</code> in your shell or terminal.</p>
<p>Like so:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group=""> conda install -c anaconda django </pre>
<p>This assumes you’ve already installed <code>conda</code> on your computer. If you haven’t check out the installation steps on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://anaconda.org/" href="https://anaconda.org/" target="_blank">official page.</a></p>
<h2>How to Install Django in VSCode?</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="282" height="66" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image-107.png" alt="" class="wp-image-883415"/></a></figure>
</div>
<p>You can install Django in VSCode by using the same command <code>pip install django</code> in your <strong><em>Visual Studio Code</em></strong> shell or terminal. </p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">pip install django</pre>
<p>If this doesn’t work — it may raise a <code>No module named 'django'</code> error — chances are that you’ve installed it for the wrong Python version on your system.</p>
<p>To check which version your VS Code environment uses, run these two commands in your Python program to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/how-to-check-your-python-version/" data-type="post" data-id="1371" target="_blank">check the version</a> that executes it:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">import sys
print(sys.executable)</pre>
<p>The output will be the path to the Python installation that runs the code in VS Code. </p>
<p>Now, you can use this path to install Django, particularly for that Python version:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">/path/to/vscode/python -m pip install django</pre>
<p>Wait until the installation is complete and run your code using <code>django</code> again. It should work now!</p>
