New to Django

[elddi...@gmail.com]

Hello - I'm trying to get Django up and running and I'm having some likely trivial trouble. I'm following the "Writing your first Django app" tutorial, but I'm getting stuck trying to create the project using 'django-admin startproject mysite'. The output says command not found. I've tried troubleshooting but haven't had any luck so far. Any assistance is much appreciated.

Have you installed a new environment and django?

Thanks for the responses. I was able to figure this out - I believe my issue was that I did not activate the virtual environment and cd into the folder containing the Django-admin exec file. Once I did that the command worked.

I think you have not installed django,  `pip install django` you can confirm if django is installed in your current environment by doing `pip list` if it is, you will see it in the list. This might come in handy

Normally this type of issue comes when you are not using the environment where Django is installed or maybe you forgot to install Django. To confirm Django is install successfully run this in your terminal: 

python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"
