There are a number of packages that are great to use for any Django project. Things like WYSIWYG editors, migration assistants, model version control, and CAS (a less used one, I am sure) have found their way to Django and are ready for an easy drop and use!
To start do an easy command line to get the required package, usually it is the name of the package – but just in case check the documentation (and don’t forget to start your virtualenv if you have one!).
After your initial checks run:

>>pip install #package_name

Great, that got it in our system environment, or virtual environment depending on setup. Now we just need to tell our package about it! Go into settings.py and look for the INSTALLED_APPS variable. Make it look like this:


INSTALLED_APPS = (
#package_name,
)


Make sure your server restarted (should be automatic after saving settings.py) and your done!
