setting up

Let’s configure our systems for developing Django applications. Let's go step by step:-

• As we know that Django is the framework written in python, so to develop applications in it we need to first have python installed. I would be installing python 3.7 as this one lasted there will be a newer version in future.
• By this step, we assure that you have installed python3.7 successfully in your systems. Now open a terminal and create a directory named as demo project at your preferred location.
• Now go inside demoProject and create a virtual environment for this project.
• Python3.7 -m venv venv
• Above command uses the venv module of python3.7, creates a venv directory and install python3.7 in that venv directory.
• Now next step is to activate this virtual environment.
• For Linux/mac os users:
• source venv/bin/activate
• For Windows users
• ./venv/lib/activate
• Now next step is to install django-admin in this virtualenv so that we can create our Django project.
• pip install django
• now to create Django project use following command
• django-admin startproject demoProject
• now to start this project run command
• cd demoProject
• python manage.py runserver
• Now open your browser and go to localhost:8000.
• On successful installation, you will see this screen.
