Can’t install via pip because of egg_info error

by

Found out what was wrong. I never installed the setuptools for python, so it was missing some vital files, like the egg ones.

If you find yourself having my issue above, download this file and then in powershell or command prompt, navigate to ez_setup’s directory and execute the command and this will run the file for you:

$ [sudo] python ez_setup.py

If you still need to install pip at this point, run: 

$ [sudo] easy_install pip

easy_install was part of the setuptools, and therefore wouldn’t work for installing pip.

Then, pip will successfully install django with the command:

$ [sudo] pip install django

Hope I saved someone the headache I gave myself!
