-Remove any old versions of Django
-=================================
-
-If you are upgrading your installation of Django from a previous version,
-you will need to uninstall the old Django version before installing the
-new version.
-
-If you installed Django using pip_ or ``easy_install`` previously, installing
-with pip_ or ``easy_install`` again will automatically take care of the old
-version, so you don't need to do it yourself.
-
-If you previously installed Django using ``python setup.py install``,
-uninstalling is as simple as deleting the ``django`` directory from your Python
-``site-packages``. To find the directory you need to remove, you can run the
-following at your shell prompt (not the interactive Python prompt):
-
-.. console::
-
-    $ python -c "import django; print(django.__path__)"
