python3-django is a package available in the repos for Ubuntu 15.04. It isn't in the default repos for Ubuntu 14.04. How can I install it in Ubuntu 14.04?

If you wish to install the latest version of Django globally, a better option is to use pip, the Python package manager. First, you need to install the pip package manager. Refresh your apt package index:

sudo apt-get update

Now you can install pip. If you plan on using Python version 3, install using the following commands:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Now that you have pip, we can easily install Django. If you are using Python 3, you can type:

sudo pip3 install django

You can verify that the installation was successful by typing:

django-admin --version
1.7.5

The Source.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install virtualenv

Now, whenever you start a new project, you can create a virtual environment for it. Start by creating and moving into a new project dire

ctory:

mkdir ~/newproject
cd ~/newproject

Now, create a virtual environment within the project directory by typing

:

virtualenv newenv

To leave your virtual environment, you need to issue the deactivate command from anywhere on the system:

deactivate

You can verify the installation by typing:

django-admin --version
