If you're on some flavor of Unix, as you appear to be based on the path, the instructions ( http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/#installing-official-release) tell you to use the command: sudo python setup.py install sudo is what allows you to run the command 'python setup.py install' with permissions that let it write to system files such as /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages. If you don't actually have permissions to write to system files, you can "install" Django simply by un-tarring it somewhere you can write to and setting up your PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to it.
