Requirements

django-downloadview has been tested with Python [1] 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10. Other versions may work, but they are not part of the test suite at the moment.

Installing django-downloadview will automatically trigger the installation of the following requirements:

        "Django>=4.2",
        "requests",

As a library

In most cases, you will use django-downloadview as a dependency of another project. In such a case, you should add django-downloadview in your main project’s requirements. Typically in setup.py:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    install_requires=[
        'django-downloadview',
        #...
    ]
    # ...
)

Then when you install your main project with your favorite package manager (like pip [2]), django-downloadview and its recursive dependencies will automatically be installed.

Standalone

You can install django-downloadview with your favorite Python package manager. As an example with pip [2]:

pip install django-downloadview

Check

Check django-downloadview has been installed:

python -c "import django_downloadview;print(django_downloadview.__version__)"

You should get installed django-downloadview’s version.
