Installation guide¶
Before installing django-flashpolicies, you’ll need to have a copy of Django already installed. For information on obtaining and installing Django, consult the Django download page, which offers convenient packaged downloads and installation instructions.
The 1.8 release of django-flashpolicies supports Django 1.8, 1.9, and 1.10, on the following Python versions:
- Django 1.8 suports Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5.
- Django 1.9 supports Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5.
- Django 1.10 supports Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5.
It is expected that django-flashpolicies 1.8 will work without modification on Python 3.6 once it is released.
Important
Python 3.2
Although Django 1.8 supported Python 3.2 at the time of its release, the Python 3.2 series has reached end-of-life, and as a result support for Python 3.2 has been dropped from django-flashpolicies.
Normal installation¶
The preferred method of installing django-flashpolicies is via
pip, the standard Python package-installation tool. If you don’t
have pip, instructions are available for how to obtain and
install it. If
you’re using Python 2.7.9 or later (for Python 2) or Python 3.4 or
later (for Python 3), pip came bundled with your installation of
Python.
Once you have pip, simply type:
pip install django-flashpolicies
Manual installation¶
It’s also possible to install django-flashpolicies manually. To do
so, obtain the latest packaged version from the listing on the Python
Package Index. Unpack the
.tar.gz file, and run:
python setup.py install
Once you’ve installed django-flashpolicies, you can verify successful
installation by opening a Python interpreter and typing import
flashpolicies.
If the installation was successful, you’ll simply get a fresh Python
prompt. If you instead see an ImportError, check the configuration
of your install tools and your Python import path to ensure
django-flashpolicies installed into a location Python can import from.
Installing from a source checkout¶
