Installation

Getting started with DRF is straightforward.

Requirements

• Python (3.6+)
• Django (3.0+)

Step-by-step Guide

1. Install using pip:

   pip install djangorestframework

2. Add to INSTALLED_APPS: Open your project's settings.py and add 'rest_framework' to your installed apps.

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'rest_framework',
   ]

3. Global Settings (Optional): You can configure global DRF settings in settings.py using the REST_FRAMEWORK dictionary.

   REST_FRAMEWORK = {
       # Use Django's standard `django.contrib.auth` permissions,
       # or allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.
       'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
           'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly'
       ]
   }
