Installing Django 5.2 Locally
Note: The dj4e_local52 material (this page and the per-platform guides it links to) is experimental. It is under active testing and development; steps or tooling may change. If something does not match your environment, use the main course install paths or ask on the course forum.
Use the guide for your operating system. Each walks through running Django 5.2 on your own computer and exposing it with localhost.run so DJ4E autograders can reach your site.
| Platform | Guide |
|---|---|
| Windows | dj4e_windows52.md |
| WSL (Linux on Windows) | dj4e_wsl52.md |
| Mac | dj4e_mac52.md |
| Linux | dj4e_linux52.md |
When you finish, you will have a localhost.run URL (for example https://xxxxx.lhr.lt) to submit to the Install autograder.
