Mercurial repository, use the following command::

.. warning::

   You will need to update the ``pip`` installation in your virtual environment if you get the following error while running the above command::

     AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'skip_requirements_regex'

   You can update ``pip`` to latest version with::

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:

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

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

     url(r'^conntrackt/', include('conntrackt.urls')),

#. 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.
