Not able to run django-admin script on ubuntu

When I ran the following command :

django-admin startproject project_name

I got the following error :

The program 'django-admin' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install python-django-common

I did what it told me to and nwo I get the following error:

Cannot find installed version of python-django or python3-django.

on running the same command, I am not able to understand if I had installed django , then why was django-admin script not installed

Note that django is installed which is verified by the following:

$ python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"
1.7

You can try to install django with pip as stated in the answer to this question, also maybe the best option is to use a virtualenv, you may find it in the ubuntu repository via synaptic.
