Getting Started with Django REST Framework

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.

Installation Steps

To begin, install the package via pip. This command will download and install the latest stable version of Django REST Framework.

$ pip install djangorestframework

Project Configuration

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
]
