If it hasn’t been installed yet, just type ‘apt-get -y install python’ in order to install Python.

2. The next step is to make sure to install ‘pip’ or to install the ‘pip’ utility or program if it hasn’t been installed.

root@hostname:~# apt list --installed | grep python-pip
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

python3-pip/now 8.1.1-2ubuntu0.4 all [installed,local]
root@hostname:~#

The above command execution identified that ‘pip’ utility or program has already been installed. So, if it hasn’t been installed yet, just type ‘apt-get -y install python-pip’ to be able to install ‘pip’.

3. Another step is to make sure that django is installed. To be able to check whether django has been installed or not, just type the following command of ‘apt-get -y install python-django’. It can be shown in the following command execution :

root@hostname:/usr/local/bin# apt list --installed | grep python-django
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
python-django/now 1.8.7-1ubuntu5.5 all [installed,local]
python-django-common/now 1.8.7-1ubuntu5.5 all [installed,local]
root@hostname:/usr/local/bin#

Another command which can be used for installing Django web-based framework is by using ‘pip’. Below is the command for installing Django using ‘pip’ :

root@hostname:~# pip install django
Requirement already satisfied: django in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
root@hostname:~#

Since Django has already been installed, the above command will have no effect while generating a message that the requirement for Django installation has been satisfied or it has been met.
