How to get my copy of Django?
Well, it is a free framework free of cost, you can download and use Django 1.6.5 or later along with Python 3.3 or prior version on Windows/Linux/Mac or on almost any Computer OS.
Installing Django on Windows 7 and later
Make sure that you have latest Python version installed on your computer. You can download it from Python.org. Extract the Django .Zip/.tar file, using Winzip or 7zip (preferably C:/, root directory).
Setting Python paths on windows will let you run it from any drive, learn how to.
Let’s install the Django, issue the following command using Power Shell or command prompt (Run->PowerShell).
C:/>django1.6.5> Python setup.py install
And it will run the python script for installation. All file required will be automatically copied to the Python Lib\site-package folder securely. After the process you can safely delete the extracted folder from the C:\ drive.

On Linux you have prebuilt Python on it, so no need to install it separately. Just extract Django .tar file and run the setup script.

Run the following on Python prompt
