How do I start a Django project?

I'm attempting to use Django in my Web Programming class, and I'm having issues with the setup. My goal is to have a running default Django app, but, upon running python manage.py runserver, I get this syntax error for the default code:

File "manage.py", line 17
    ) from exc
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I also tried running it on python3, which produced a different error. See below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 11, in main
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 22, in <module>
    main()
  File "manage.py", line 17, in main
    ) from exc
ImportError: Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you forget to activate a virtual environment?

I have Django installed via pip, and can use the django-admin command. My exact code can be created by running django-admin startproject [name of project].

All the best, Ben
