Hi,

I'm trying to follow the tutorial, but I got this problem at the very beginning when I tried ''django-admin startproject mysite'':

django-admin : The term 'django-admin' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable pr
ogram. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ django-admin startproject mysite
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (django-admin:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Could someone help me to overcome this?

Hi,

By the looks of error you're running windows.

By default scripts are not in PATH so you need to type something like c:\python36\scripts\django-admin.py

Or you should use virtualenv (or pipenv) which would set path correctly.

And you’re using PowerShell instead of the command prompt.  I typically just work in the command prompt.  With PowerShell, you may have to be more explicit in your path, such as using “.\django-admin startproject mysite”

Thank you for your help.

I also found a video that helped me with PowerShell (just if someone else has the same problem): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TqO5FfhV28
