Trying to set up a website using Django but something went wrong

[owen]

I downloaded Django recently and I have all the necessary files (Or at least I think I do )

However when I try to set up a project through this line of code:

$ django-admin startproject mysite  

In the command prompt it returns the following message.

'django-admin' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'

I know django-admin is there because I searched for it...Can someone please help

Regards,

Owen

1. Type "python" in your terminal and if it open ups Python interpreter that means path is setup for Python.

 

2. If confirmed that Python is installed you might want to install setuptools. 

3. With setuptools a small app "pip" which is programmed to bring packages upon request from pypi or Djangoproejcts official repositories for reusable apps.

4. Learn to create Virtualenv for your proejct its simply 3 commands but I am not sure what OS you are at so see docs for related OS.

5. Anytime if you are not getting response from a package command or in your case django-admin.py is not recoginized...you need to check installed packages by "pip freeze" command in terminal without quotes. It will show you all installed packages.

In your case terminal is not able to communicate with your python based app. There are only two reasons for it...you haven't configured pythonpath for OS or Django is not installed.

Go by checklist and if you are still stuck I will help you.

Do you have Python installed?
