Django installation error

Question

I have python 3.5.2 installed. I also have pip 9.0.1 installed. The version number shows up when I type in the command python or pip --version. But when I try to install django using the command pip install Django, after a certain percentage, it stops downloading and the following error comes up on the command prompt. I have tried to set up the path but still the error shows up.

Exception:

How is your connection speed? – ettanany Dec 13 '16 at 15:10 — ettanany, Dec 13 '16 at 15:10

What the traceback tells you is that the maximum time allocated to one read operation was spent and, thus, the operation was aborted. This may be due to a low connection speed, in which case a quick fix may be to increase the timeout time for installing a package. Try this:

pip --default-timeout=500 install django

where 500 is the amount of time in seconds. Feel free to increase / decrease it as you wish. Hope it helps.

You should use a virtualenv

to create a virtual environment. Then installing django: pip install django, not Django
