Step 4:

Create a new directory for Django

Use the following command to check your current directory

pwd

To create a new directory, use the following command

mkdir directory_name

I am creating a ‘Django’ directory

After creating a new directory, enter it by

cd directory_name

Step 5:

Install Virtual Environment to create environment for your project. For this, use this command

pip install virtualenv

After installing the virtual environment, create a virtual environment by using this command

virtualenv env

Then activate the virtual environment with the following command

. env/bin/activate

After environment activation, install Django in the same directory where you have installed virtual environment, by typing

pip install django

You can check your Django version by using the following command

django-admin --version

Step 6:

Create a Django Project

To create a new project, use the following command

django-admin startproject testsite .

Here I am creating a “testsite” project.

After creating a project, you can see your project by this command:

ls

Now use this command for migration

python manage.py migrate

Step 7:

This is the last step

Here we will run the server.

Use the following code to run the server

python manage.py runserver

The server has started successfully.

Now, open your browser and enter the default Django server address.

http://127.0.0.1:8000/

And hit the enter key

You will see the Django welcome page

It means Django has been successfully installed.

You can close the server by pressing Ctrl+C
