.. _install: Installation guide ================== The |release| release of django-registration supports Django 3.2 and 4.0 on Python 3.7 (Django 3.2 only), 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10. Note that Django 3.2's support for Python 3.10 was added in Django 3.2.9, so you may experience issues with Python 3.10 and earlier Django 3.2 versions. Normal installation ------------------- The preferred method of installing django-registration is via `pip`, the standard Python package-installation tool. If you don't have `pip`, instructions are available for `how to obtain and install it `_, though if you're using a supported version of Python, `pip` should have come bundled with your installation of Python. Once you have `pip`, type:: pip install django-registration If you don't have a copy of a compatible version of Django, this will also automatically install one for you, and will install a third-party library required by some of django-registration's validation code.
