django python: How to use the source instead of the egg?

I was having some issues with a Django app called "django-categories"

The developer told me to use the source instead of the egg.

How do I do 开发者_C百科that?

Just copy the categories directory to your project directory(where all your other apps go) and add it to installed apps and run syncdb or schema migration and you should be up and running.

On the github page you link to, there's a "download source" link. Use that to download a zip or tar archive, then unzip it and make sure that the "categories" directory is in your PYTHONPATH.
