I am trying to follow an instruction to install Django on my system. I am stuck on the instruction that says "start up a command shell with administrator privileges and run the following command from within the directory whose name starts with Django-". I am confused what a command shell is, and how I would get admin privileges.
I am running Windows XP SP3. |

what does it mean by running with administrator privileges? does that mean i need to be logged into an admin account?

In XP, you are pretty much automatically. In Vista, this can be a problem sometimes.

Hm.. I tried that but it did not seem to do what I wanted it to do. I am pretty much trying to install Django, a web framework, on my system.
I am trying to follow the instructions on their website (http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter02/) under the heading 'Installing an Official Release'. It says: On Windows, we recommend using 7-Zip (http://www.djangoproject.com/r/7zip/) to unzip .tar.gz files. Once you’ve unzipped the file, start up a command shell with administrator privileges and run the following command from within the directory whose name starts with Django-: Code:
python setup.py install |

Nevermind Carbon. I think I got it to work.
I was just suppose to enter "setup.py install" instead of "python setup.py install". |

Glad you got it sorted.
