You can update pip to latest version with:

After this you should proceed to configure your Django installation.

Configuring your Django installation

Once the Django Conntrackt has been installed, you need to perform the following steps in order to make it available inside of your Django project:

  1. Edit your project’s settings configuration file (settings.py), and update the INSTALLED_APPS to include applications south, braces and conntrackt.

  2. Edit your project’s URL configuration file (urls.py), and add the following line to the urlpatterns setting:

    url(r'^conntrackt/', include('conntrackt.urls')),
    
  3. Create the necessary tables used for Django Conntrackt by running:

    ./manage.py syncdb
    

After this the Django Conntrackt application will be available under the /conntrackt/ path (relative to your Django project’s base URL).

If you have enabled django.contrib.admin, you should be able to add new Conntrackt data through the admin interface.
