Running django-admin tutorial erros: no module named django

I just started to try and install/run Django on my cmd prompt and faced this issue although environment variables are set up for Django.

Besides getting a solution, can someone help me understand the root cause of the error below? 

C:\Python>django-admin startproject test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "C:\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "C:\windows\syswow64\scripts\django-admin.exe\__main__.py", line 5, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django'

On windows, go where you want to create your project, and call from there the django-admin.exe: path\to\django-admin.exe startproject project_name

Its not a clean solution but worked for me.

In python based project it is always good to create Virtual Environment and then run your django program .

 pip install virtualenvwrapper-win
 mkvirtualenv test
 workon test

this will activate your virtual environment

Now install django

pip install django

After django installation complets

run 

django-admin --version

Hope this helps.
