How do I make a project in Django?

I just started with Django and it's totally different from PHP. I installed Python 2.6 and Django.

Both are located in my C drive.

C:
   Django
          build
          django
             bin
               django-admin.py
          docs
   Python26

I am doing the [django site tutorial][1] and when they say to write django-admin.py startproject mysite from my Python command line, I getting errors.

My django-admin.py is in the django/bin folder. I installed Python via python setup.py. [1]: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/#intro-tutorial01

How do I create a project with django?

You've got to run that from a command line, not within the python interpreter!

From the docs:

From the command line, cd into a directory where you’d like to store your code, then run the command django-admin.py startproject mysite. This will create a mysite directory in your current directory.

So from the command prompt:

python django-admin.py startproject mysite

You might need to add the path to django-admin

Create a virtual environment

python3 -m venv my-env

Activate the my-env

Source my-env/bin/activate

Install Django in my-env

pip install django

Check the version

django-admin --version

Crarte folder in my-project

 $ cd my-project

Then

$ django-admin startproject my-project-name
$ cd my-project-name
$ python manage.py runserver

Then open browser and type url http://127.0.0.1:8000/ or http://localhost:8080

Boilerplate Code To create django as well create django app you have to follow many common commands. for simplicity, kindly follow the below single-line commands separated by semicolon:

django-admin startproject project_name; cd project_name;python3 manage.py startapp app_name; cd app_name; mkdir templates

Those commands will create commonly used structure for django.

Your virtual Environment will contain these three folder:
1)Include
2)Lib
3) Scripts
(Read about them from django official website)
What you need to do is use all these 3 things.
On your command line cd into your virtual environment folder.Then use this code:
python Scripts\django-admin.py startproject mysite

Output: A folder named "mysite" will be created inside your virtual environment.And because this folder is inside virtual environment, you will be able to use all 3 components.

it is very easy to make a python django project run terminal in you linux or mac box
first:

django-admin.py startproject mysite

mysite is a project name

second: in python django project, each and every feature should be start in an app, so our next work is create a app. here polls is a app entered your project folder and run

python manage.py startapp polls
python manage.py syncdb

then just run the project python default run on 8000 port. you also define port like this way

python manage.py runserver 6006

go your browser and hit http://127.0.0.1:6006

next step is configure the project and manage the project. you have to change some change in settings.py and urls.py

Seems like you have not added C:\python26 or wherever you have installed your python to the PATH .... you can edit the path from cmd or by right-clicking My Computer and going to environment variable tab from properties...add both python path and django path where u have your admin.py
