If you're using a virtualenv, you can install Django 'inside' the virutalenv using the pip tool, and it will become available when you are running the virtual environment.

You have 2 choices, which you can do while running the virutalenv :

Either install packages one by one, with pip install *package name*

Or create a .txt file named for example requirements.txt, fill up that file with your requirements, for example (the numbers are the version you want):

Django==1.9.10
MySQL-python==1.2.5
Pillow==2.3.2
six==1.10.0

and then run pip install -r requirements.txt so that pip installs all those packages at once, also making it very easy to replicate on another machine.

Hope this helps
