These can make installation and upgrading\nmuch easier for users of Django since the integration includes the ability to\nautomatically install dependencies (like database adapters) that Django\nrequires.</p>\n<p>Typically, these packages are based on the latest stable release of Django, so\nif you want to use the development version of Django you’ll need to follow the\ninstructions for <a class=\"reference internal\" href=\"/en/1.10/topics/install/#installing-development-version\"><span class=\"std std-ref\">installing the development version</span></a> from our Git repository.</p>\n<p>If you’re using Linux or a Unix installation, such as OpenSolaris,\ncheck with your distributor to see if they already package Django. If\nyou’re using a Linux distro and don’t know how to find out if a package\nis available, then now is a good time to learn.
