Installing Django with pip

Question

Trying to install Django from cmd with pip.

Python 2.7.3, Windows 7

Env var(...C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\;C:\Python27\Scripts\;)

    help("pip")
    .
    .
    .
    .
    VERSION
        1.3.1

    pip install Django
    File "<stdin>", line 1
    pip install Django
          ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

where are you running this command? pip should be run from cmd instead of python shell. — swpd, Mar 19 '13 at 05:05

pip is not run from the Python shell. Run this from the Command prompt.

pip install Django

It will install the latest Django 1.5.
