[Answer]-Install Django from ZIP

INSTALL is a set of English-language instructions describing how to install Django. It is not an installer. Rather than trying to execute it with a shell, read them and follow the directions inside.

As for why get-pip.py failed, you had a Python shell open and gave the Python prompt the filename get-pip.py. But the Python REPL doesn’t take filenames; it takes Python expressions. It thought you were trying to retrieve the variable get and subtract the attribute py of the pip object. But neither get nor pip existed, so you got a NameError.

If you want to install pip, use a normal shell (like, say, Bash) and then run python get-pip.py.

try with this:

sudo python setup.py install

i figured it out. i tried using the .zip file rather than the .tar.gz file.
