Django Project Setup and Instructions

This repository contains the code and instructions for setting up a Django project. Follow the steps below to create your Django project, activate the virtual environment, and run the development server.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that you have Python installed on your machine. We recommend using a virtual environment to manage your dependencies.

Setting Up the Virtual Environment

1. Create a Virtual Environment:

Navigate to your project directory and run the following command to create a virtual environment:

- python -m venv env

2. Activate the Virtual Environment:

After creating the virtual environment, activate it with the following command:

On Windows:

- .\env\Scripts\activate

On macOS and Linux:

- source env/bin/activate

Installing Django

Once the virtual environment is activated, install Django by running:

- pip install django

Creating a Django Project To create a new Django project, use the following command:

- django-admin startproject myproject

Replace myproject with the desired name of your project.

Running the Development Server

Navigate into your project directory and run the following command to start the development server:

- python manage.py runserver

This will start the Django development server, and you can view your project by visiting http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your web browser.

Deactivating the Virtual Environment

When you are done working on your project, you can deactivate the virtual environment by running:

- deactivate
