Installation¶
Official releases¶
Official releases are available from PyPI. You can install it using the pip:
pip install django-mptt
You can also download the .zip distribution file and unpack it. Inside is a script
named setup.py
. Enter this command:
python setup.py install
…and the package will install automatically.
Development version¶
Alternatively, you can get the latest source from our git repository:
git clone git://github.com/django-mptt/django-mptt.git django-mptt
Add the resulting folder to your PYTHONPATH or symlink the mptt
directory
inside it into a directory which is on your PYTHONPATH, such as your Python
installation’s site-packages
directory.
You can verify that the application is available on your PYTHONPATH by opening a Python interpreter and entering the following commands:
>>> import mptt
>>> mptt.VERSION
(0, 5, '+dev')
When you want to update your copy of the source code, run git pull
from within the django-mptt
directory.
Caution
The development version may contain bugs which are not present in the release version and introduce backwards-incompatible changes.
If you’re tracking master, keep an eye on the recent Commit History before you update your copy of the source code.
