This guide provides clear instructions on how to install and set up Django REST Framework (DRF) for your Python web projects. DRF is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.
To begin, install the package via pip. This command will download and install the latest stable version of Django REST Framework.
$ pip install djangorestframework
After successfully installing the package, you need to add 'rest_framework' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting in your Django project's settings.py file. This step registers DRF with your Django project, enabling its features.
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# Other applications in your project
'rest_framework',
# ... other apps
]
For more detailed information and advanced configurations, please refer to the official Django REST Framework documentation:
