Upgrading Django

Post by Bittiez »

Hey guys, so I noticed the current auto installer for Django is severely out of date, I did put in a help desk so no worries there, my question now is how do I upgrade django?
I don't have access to pip in the terminal, so I don't know how else to upgrade it, let alone install it. I'm in the middle of trying to upload it by hand and ill go from there after that but any help would be appreciated

Django updates all the time, and adjusting the version here is quite a bit of work, so it's difficult to fit in updates very frequently. I can work on an update to it, but it will take some time. As part of the update, I'll have to modernize it to work with Python 3.4, as our current version uses Python 2.7. I have not experimented with the adjustments needed to make it work with Python 3.4.

Everything that we do to install Django can also be done by the user through SSH, so you do have the ability to try, if you'd like.

I originally used an adapted version of the instructions from here: https://web.archive.org/web/20080915022 ... ing-site5/ -- but those would be for old Python 2.x.

To use pip, you'd want to set up your virtual environment, then use its standalone installer. Django links the documentation for that in their install instructions.
