That command attempts to install Django for the systemwide python. On ubuntu this would require sudo(root) priveleges. sudo pip install django While that will work, I suspect most people would recommend you use python virtualenv in order to create python sandboxes. The biggest benefit is that you can have multiple django versions, each in their own sandbox (great for testing and upgrades).
