Setup Latest django code on local machine to learn and develop?

I want to know how can i setup django code(forked from github or any) on my local machine ? I am not taking about installing it. I am talking about to work as a developer on django code itself. My whole aim is to learn django even more better and improve myself.I want to know how the automatic admin is built , etc.

How exactly i can run it on my ubuntu system ?

Thanks

  1. You can clone the repository, if you have git installed:

    $ git clone https://github.com/django/django.git
$ cd django
django $ ls

  2. You can create a virtual environment, install django in it and the play with the local copy:

    $ virtualenv ~/my_django
$ source ~/my_django/bin/activate
(my_django) $ pip install django

  3. The easiest option is to simply browse the source online if all you want to know is how something is put together.

If you installed it, you'll have the entire code available somewhere like /usr/lib/python/site-packages/django (use locate django in terminal to find the correct dir) on Linux or C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/django on Windows.

You can see the code, and even make modifications. If you want to contribute to Django, you'll need some knowledge before, and follow some rules.
