Installation
You need python 3.5+ installed, with pip.
You also need Node.js (LTS or Current), with yarn.
Please note that django-zero will need permissions to write files in its own package, you really should install it in userland, for example in a nice and shiny virtual environment (yes, it is important).
$ pip install django-zero[dev]
That's it, you can jump to the getting started → guide.
TIP
Django-zero write in its own package, because it contains javascript dependencies in package.json and yarn.lock
files, and the associated package manager (yarn) will need to expand the packages into a node_modules directory
there.
This is necessary so that the javascript dependencies are treated like a python dependency, while keeping the release
process simple. We publish the package.json/yarn.lock files within the python egg on PyPI, you get the freezed
javascript dependencies (but you still download them from NPM, the Node.js package repository).
