Creating Virtualenv for Django project.

Install distribute and pip

curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
sudo python distribute_setup.py
sudo easy_install pip

pip completion --bash >> ~/.bashrc

and run source ~/.bashrc to enable

Use pip to install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper

sudo pip install virtualenv
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

export WORKON_HOME=`~/.virtualenvs`

mkdir $WORKON_HOME

echo "export WORKON_HOME=$WORKON_HOME" >> ~/.bashrc

Setup virtualenvwrapper

echo "source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

echo "export PIP_VIRTUALENV_BASE=$WORKON_HOME" >> ~/.bashrc       

Source ~/.bashrc to load the changes

source ~/.bashrc

Test if it works

Now we create our first virtual environment

mkvirtualenv test

You will see that the environment will be set up, and your prompt now includes the name of your active environment in parentheses. Also if you now run

python -c "import sys; print sys.path"

you should see a lot of /home/user/.virtualenv/... because it now doesn't use your system site-packages.

You can deactivate your environment by running

deactivate

and if you want to work on it again, simply type

workon test

Finally, if you want to delete your environment, type

rmvirtualenv test

 

To Install Django  

$ pip install django

$ which django-admin.py

$ django-admin.py startproject django_project

ENJOY!!!!!!
