To create a new Django project, you can use the django-admin
command-line utility. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Open a command prompt or terminal window.
- Navigate to the directory where you want to create the Django project.
- Type the following command to create a new Django project:
django-admin startproject projectname
Replace projectname
with the name you want to give to your Django project.
4. Once the command finishes executing, a new directory will be created with the same name as your project containing various files and directories.
That’s it! You have now created a new Django project. To verify that everything is working, you can run the development server using the following command:
python manage.py runserver
Then you can visit http://localhost:8000
in a web browser to see the default “Welcome to Django” page.
