Please programmers, how do I engage django because i get syntax error i type in this code

----- $ django-admin startproject mySite -----------

Have you tried checking the version of your Django-admin like this: "django-admin --version" without the quotation mark. If it returns a version number, try creating a new project like this: "django-admin startproject royaltykitchen"

Hi,

If you type this in your terminal, you should see Django==2.0.4 (or some other version)

$ pip freeze

If not, Django is not installed.

Also, what is the syntax error you are receiving?

[Sherine Tresa]

i am a first time user.and i don't know how to open and type code in it.

the error corrected when i typed the pip install statement in commandprompt outside.

i need to know how to start using django?

No one can walk you through how to use Django in this group. That is too much to explain.

I recommend choosing a plain text editor like Sublime Text or many others that are free in order to start working on any coding project.

Then once you have that, read the documentation and follow this tutorial written by the Django developers.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/intro/tutorial01/

First check the version of python, then type :django-admin startproject projectname.

I would also recommend you start with a tutorial.

The django tutorial on the docs page is ok, but the djangogirls tutorial is pretty extensive - try that and you should get some of your answers at least : https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/

be sure about that you have installed django typing $pip freeze in your console

Thanks everyone for your replies so far. I have another prob: I'm trying to create a new file (.py) in my app using vscode but I get the error "permission denied writing to file" then followed by the directory of the base file
