# How to use Django with Granian

Granian is a Rust-based high-performance HTTP server for Python applications, supporting ASGI and WSGI interfaces.

## Installing Granian

You can install Granian with `pip`:

    python -m pip install granian

## Running Django in Granian

When Granian is installed, a `granian` command is available which runs WSGI applications. Granian needs to be called with the location of a module containing a WSGI application object named `application`, using the `--interface wsgi` option.

For a typical Django project, invoking Granian would look like:

    granian myproject.wsgi:application --interface wsgi

This will start one process listening on `127.0.0.1:8000`. It requires that your project be on the Python path; to ensure that, run this command from the same directory as your `manage.py` file.

For more advanced usage, please read the Granian documentation.
