In this tutorial, we'll cover the installation and configuration of Django, a popular web framework for building web applications using Python.
Before installing Django, make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can verify your Python version by running the following command in your terminal:
python --version
If you don't have Python installed, you can download it from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
Once you have Python installed, you can use pip
(the Python package installer) to install Django. Run the following command in your terminal:
pip install django
This command will install the latest version of Django. To verify that Django has been installed, run:
python -m django --version
It's a good practice to create a virtual environment for each Django project. This helps to manage dependencies and isolate project environments. To create a virtual environment, you can use the venv
module that comes with Python. Run the following commands in your terminal:
# Create a new directory for your Django project mkdir my_project cd my_project # Create a virtual environment python -m venv venv
Now, you need to activate the virtual environment. The activation process varies depending on your operating system:
venv\Scripts\activate.bat
source venv/bin/activate
When your virtual environment is activated, you should see the environment name (venv)
before your command prompt.
With Django installed and a virtual environment set up, you can now create a new Django project. To do so, run the following command in your terminal:
django-admin startproject my_project_name .
Replace my_project_name
with the desired name for your project. The .
at the end of the command tells Django to create the project files in the current directory instead of creating a new subdirectory.
Now, you should see the following files and directories in your project folder:
my_project_name/ manage.py my_project_name/ __init__.py asgi.py settings.py urls.py wsgi.py venv/
To verify that your project has been set up correctly, run the following command:
python manage.py runserver
This will start the development server. Open your web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/. You should see the Django welcome page.
In this tutorial, we have covered the installation and configuration of Django, including installing Django, setting up a virtual environment, creating a new Django project, and running the development server. You can now proceed with building your Django app, creating models, views, and templates, and configuring your project settings.
How to install Django step by step:
pip install django
Creating a virtual environment for Django:
python -m venv myenv source myenv/bin/activate # On Linux/Mac myenv\Scripts\activate # On Windows
Django project creation and initialization:
django-admin startproject myproject
Installing and using Django packages and apps:
pip install django-package-name
