Installing django-csp
=====================

First, install django-csp via pip or from source:

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install django-csp

Add the csp app to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` in your project's ``settings`` module:

.. code-block:: python

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        # ...
        "csp",
        # ...
    )

Now edit your project's ``settings`` module, to add the django-csp middleware
to ``MIDDLEWARE``, like so:

.. code-block:: python

    MIDDLEWARE = (
        # ...
        "csp.middleware.CSPMiddleware",
        # ...
    )

.. Note::

   Middleware order does not matter unless you have other middleware modifying
   the CSP header, or requires CSP features like a nonce. See
   :ref:`Using the generated CSP nonce` for further advice on middleware order.


That should do it! Go on to :ref:`configuring CSP <configuration-chapter>`.
