I went through a tutorial for downloading python, pip and Django.  All seemed to be going well until I attempted to put command lines through the command window 

So when I try to create a project via these instructions below

$ django-admin startproject mysite

It gives an error

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

However I found the django-admin file by a search ...the command prompt window does not recognize it though.

Can someone help me

Regards,
Owen

Can you give us a link to the tutorial you are following?

Did you maybe forget to activate your virtualenv?
