django install

[Dwaine Zeringue]

pip install Django in interpreter (via windows command prompt) continuously results in syntax errors, specifically, file line 1 pip install django "<stdin>"

Could anyone guide me in installing a python/Django environment on windows

I have written a couple of batch files for creating a new Python/Django
environment on Windows 8.1 and pasted them in a single Pastebin
https://pastebin.com/fAkTRM5i

First: _cheq.bat

You need to edit this on lines:
40 - change from 35 to 36 if using Python 3.6
47 - change "py_dir" to be the Python directory (mine are both in the
root of C:)
49 - change "env" to the name of your environments parent dir
51 - change "batdir" to your batchfile directory and make sure it is on
the Windows path
108 to 111 - change to suit your install requirements
113 - change if you changed 40
114 & 115 need to be downloaded ahead of time or commented out
119 & 120 ditto if using Python 2.7

_cheq.bat will create the virtual environment and write out the
requirements files ready for pip in the second batch file to install
everything

Execute _cheq.bat in a non-privileged ordinary command prompt with two
arguments being the <envdir> and <project>

Second: _cheq_req.bat

This must be executed with the same two arguments you gave _cheq.bat. It
will read the requirements created by _cheq.bat and install whatever is
listed there.

I put an app named "common" into this batch file so you can remove that
or edit it as you like.

Good luck

Ignore the first batch file in that pastebin. The second (_cheq_req.bat)
one is good.

Here is the replacement for the first one ...

I edited a couple of lines to make it match my instructions below ;)
