How to upgrade django?

You can use --upgrade with the pip command to upgrade Python packages.

pip install --upgrade django==3.3.1

I use this command for upgrading any package using pip:

pip install <package-name> --upgrade 

Example: pip install django --upgrade

you need to use the --upgrade or -U flag for upgrading.

Alternatively, you can use python -m pip install -U Django.


  1. Use this command to get all available Django versions: yolk -V django
  2. Type pip install -U Django for latest version, or if you want to specify version then use pip install --upgrade django==1.6.5

NOTE: Make sure you test locally with the updated version of Django before updating production.


You can use pip install -U django. It will update to the current stable version. Read official documentation on Django Docs
