Project initialization

Why write django-admin startproject xyz and not just django startproject xyz?
Thanks in advance

[tribhuvan kishor]

first, check your Django properly installed or not.

and tell me which operating system you are using.

Hi,

If you were wondering why django-admin and not django. Explanation is rather simple. When Django python package is built "django-admin" is designated as a script that will be executed. Django within python namespace is just name of the package.

So that's why django-admin is used to bootstrap your project. Note that it is not necessary to do that, it's just for convenience.

You could just manually create files and it would work just fine. There also exists templates for cookie-cutter tool that can build similar structuers.

On this topic I've been wondering why some people use python manage.py startapp instead of django-admin startapp, is there any difference?

Most of the terminology that you have used is complete alien to me rn, but I hope to get there soon and will be able to understand then.
Thanks

Might be beneficial to review this documentation  https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/django-admin/

It does a good job of specifying the differences.

Myself, using OSX and/or docker for all my projects, I only use django-admin to start a project, and use manage.py for everything else.

[Lara Garg]

Yes it was, indeed.
