# How to use Django with Daphne

Daphne is a pure-Python ASGI server for UNIX, maintained by members of the Django project. It acts as the reference server for ASGI.

## Installing Daphne

You can install Daphne with `pip`:

    python -m pip install daphne

## Running Django in Daphne

When Daphne is installed, a `daphne` command is available which starts the Daphne server process. At its simplest, Daphne needs to be called with the location of a module containing an ASGI application object, followed by what the application is called (separated by a colon).

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

    daphne myproject.asgi:application

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.

## Integration with `runserver`

Daphne provides a `runserver` command to serve your site under ASGI during development.

This can be enabled by adding `daphne` to the start of your `INSTALLED_APPS` and adding an `ASGI_APPLICATION` setting pointing to your ASGI application object:

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        "daphne",
        ...,
    ]

    ASGI_APPLICATION = "myproject.asgi.application"
