InstallationΒΆ

The mod_wsgi package can be installed from source code or may also be available as a pre built binary package as part of your Linux distribution.

Do be aware though that Linux distributions can sometimes ship out of date versions of mod_wsgi, especially for long term support (LTS) versions of Linux. Those older versions are not supported in any way even though they are part of a so called LTS version of Linux.

If you want support and want to ensure you have the most up to date and bug free version of mod_wsgi, you should consider building and installing mod_wsgi from the source code.

For instructions on how to compile mod_wsgi from the source code for UNIX like operating systems such as Linux and MacOS X see:

For a simpler way of running a Python WSGI application using mod_wsgi, also checkout mod_wsgi-express, details of which can currently be found at:
