This post is for myself to remember how to build Django project. I did follow the tutorial from the JustDjango Learn website free tutorial. And this is the fourth tutorial named Getting Started With Django. I am not going over all the details and descriptions for each part. There are good explanations on video of the JustDjango Learn. So, visit their site and try their tutorials if you need more details. Also, the orders of this post and their video might be different because I put things first what I think should come first.
This post will be about basic starts. I am doing this on Windows 10 with just Windows PowerShell. Not using virtual machines at all.
In the JustDjango Learn, he used 3.7.4, and I used 3.9.6.
To check your Python version, – click start(windows logo on your computer) or hit windows logo key on your keyboard. – type cmd or terminal to open your command line. – If you want to do in VSCode, open your terminal by hit ctrl+` key, or click view -> terminal. – type “python” or “python -V”
pip installed. Pip is already installed if you already installed the Python. To check your pip installed or version, same thing to open terminal above, then type “pip -V”
2. Starting a Project
create a new folder for new project
open folder on VSCode or any other IDE you use.
create virtual environment
python -m virtualenv env
activate virtualenv
env/Scripts/activate
install Django. in the tutorial video using 3.1.4 version, and I installed 3.2.11 version
