# Πώς να εγκαταστήσετε το Django στα Windows

This document will guide you through installing Python 3.14 and Django on
Windows. It also provides instructions for setting up a virtual environment,
which makes it easier to work on Python projects. This is meant as a beginner’s
guide for users working on Django projects and does not reflect how Django
should be installed when developing changes for Django itself.

The steps in this guide have been tested with Windows 10. In other
versions, the steps would be similar. You will need to be familiar with using
the Windows command prompt.

## Εγκατάσταση Python

Django is a Python web framework, thus requiring Python to be installed on your
machine. At the time of writing, Python 3.14 is the latest version.

To install Python on your machine go to <https://www.python.org/downloads/>. The
website should offer you a download button for the latest Python version.
Download the executable installer and run it. Check the boxes next to «Install
launcher for all users (recommended)» then click «Install Now».

After installation, open the command prompt and check that the Python version
matches the version you installed by executing:

```doscon
...\> py --version
```

> **py is not recognized or found**
>
> Depending on how you’ve installed Python (such as via the Microsoft Store),
> `py` may not be available in the command prompt.
>
> You will then need to use `python` instead of `py` when entering
> commands.

## Σχετικά με το `pip`

[pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/) is a package manager for Python and is included by default with the
Python installer. It helps to install and uninstall Python packages
(such as Django!). For the rest of the installation, we’ll use `pip` to
install Python packages from the command line.

## Setting up a virtual environment

It is best practice to provide a dedicated environment for each Django project
you create. There are many options to manage environments and packages within
the Python ecosystem, some of which are recommended in the [Python
documentation](https://packaging.python.org/guides/tool-recommendations/).
Python itself comes with [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html) for managing
environments which we will use for this guide.

To create a virtual environment for your project, open a new command prompt,
navigate to the folder where you want to create your project and then enter the
following:

```doscon
...\> py -m venv project-name
```

This will create a folder called “project-name” if it does not already exist
and set up the virtual environment. To activate the environment, run:

```doscon
...\> project-name\Scripts\activate.bat
```

The virtual environment will be activated and you’ll see «(project-name)» next
to the command prompt to designate that. Each time you start a new command
prompt, you’ll need to activate the environment again.

## Εγκατάσταση Django

Το Django μπορεί να εγκατασταθεί εύκολα με το `pip` μέσα στο virtual environment που μόλις φτιάξατε.

In the command prompt, ensure your virtual environment is active, and execute
the following command:

```doscon
...\> py -m pip install Django
```

Η παραπάνω εντολή θα κατεβάσει και θα εγκαταστήσει την τελευταία έκδοση του Django. Αν θέλατε άλλη έκδοση και όχι την τελευταία, τότε θα γράφατε `pip install django==x.x`, όπου x.x η έκδοση που θέλετε να εγκαταστήσετε.

Αφού ολοκληρωθεί η εγκατάσταση, μπορείτε να επιβεβαιώσετε ότι εγκαταστάθηκε ορθά, εκτελώντας την εντολή `django-admin --version` μέσα από τη γραμμή εντολών.

Δείτε στο άρθρο See [εγκατάσταση βάσης δεδομένων στο Django](/el/6.0/topics/install/#database-installation) αν θέλετε να χρησιμοποιήσετε κάποια βάση δεδομένων για το project σας.

## Colored terminal output

A quality-of-life feature adds colored (rather than monochrome) output to the
terminal. In modern terminals this should work for both CMD and PowerShell. If
for some reason this needs to be disabled, set the environmental variable
[`DJANGO_COLORS`](/el/6.0/ref/django-admin/#envvar-DJANGO_COLORS) to `nocolor`.

On older Windows versions, or legacy terminals, [colorama](https://pypi.org/project/colorama/) 0.4.6+ must be
installed to enable syntax coloring:

```doscon
...\> py -m pip install "colorama >= 0.4.6"
```

See [Syntax coloring](/el/6.0/ref/django-admin/#syntax-coloring) for more information on color settings.

## Συνηθισμένα σφάλματα εγκατάστασης

- Αν η εντολή `django-admin` εμφανίζει μόνο το βοηθητικό μήνυμα ανεξαρτήτως των παραμέτρων που δίνονται, τότε πιθανόν υπάρχει πρόβλημα στα Windows με το file association. Ελέγξτε αν υπάρχει παραπάνω από μια environment variable στο `PATH`, που να είναι ρυθμισμένη για να τρέχει Python scripts. Αυτό συνήθως συμβαίνει όταν είναι παραπάνω από μια εκδόσεις της Python εγκατεστημένες στο σύστημα σας.
- If you are connecting to the internet behind a proxy, there might be problems
  in running the command `py -m pip install Django`. Set the environment
  variables for proxy configuration in the command prompt as follows:

  ```doscon
  ...\> set http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:proxyport
  ...\> set https_proxy=https://username:password@proxyserver:proxyport
  ```
- In general, Django assumes that `UTF-8` encoding is used for I/O. This may
  cause problems if your system is set to use a different encoding. Recent
  versions of Python allow setting the [`PYTHONUTF8`](https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONUTF8) environment
  variable in order to force a `UTF-8` encoding. Windows 10 also provides a
  system-wide setting by checking `Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language
  support` in Language ‣ Administrative Language Settings
  ‣ Change system locale in system settings.
