Django tutorial with version 1.6

Question

I'm trying to follow this tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

I am using Django 1.6.5. It seems that the version used in the tutorial is quite different from mine. For example, there are no migrate-related commands available in my manage.py. I got around this problem momentarily by downloading the South library and typing syncdb instead of migrate. But now the tutorial wants me to type:

python manage.py makemigration polls

which neither South nor the original Django has. Am I doomed? Do I have to install a much later version of Django? This seems strange to me because doing so is quite nettlesome. Installing 1.6 is by far the easiest to install.

Answer 1

Replace the dev part in the URL with 1.6, so it becomes:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial01/

You can find links to the different versions of documentation on the menu in the bottom, right hand side of the page.

Answer 2

There are different tutorials for all the different versions. The one you're using is for the most recent version.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial01/ would be tutorial for Django 1.6
