Where to create a Django project

[KH]

I am new to Django and web development and am having some issues figuring out how to get started. I am following the Django getting started tutorial on their website.

Where is a Django project supposed to be created? I installed Django into an AWS ec2 instance and was able to run the default startup screen, but I get an error saying I need to change some things in the settings.py file, but I do not know how to open that file for editing if it is in an AWS instance.

Hope this helps ....

When working on an AWS Elastic Beanstalk instance, you can log into the system using Secure Shell (SSH), with a key pair.  For EBeanstalk, that key pair was either created or selected from existing keys at the time that you created the server.

From there you have a typical TTY session with a shell on a unix-like system of some sort. (unless you picked a Windows OS, in which case I can't help you)

It's been so long since I worked on an AWS instance outside of EBeanstalk that I can't quite remember if the process is the same.
