What is Django ?
Django is a Python -based free and open-source web framework, which follows the model-template-view architectural pattern. It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation, an independent organization established as a 501 non-profit. Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites
To be able to use Django, you need to install the following software:
- Python 3, to enjoy the third version innovations.
- setuptools is a module that simplifies the installation of the external Python module. However, it does not manage to uninstall the module.
- PIP extends the possibilities of setuptools by removing packages,using easier syntax, and providing other benefits.
- Django, which that we are going to install thanks to PIP.
Installing Python 3
To use all the tools that we have talked about so far, we first need to install
Python 3. The following sections describe how we can install Python on
Windows operating systems.
Installing Python 3 for Windows
Django is a Python web framework, thus requiring Python to be installed on your machine. At the time of writing, Python 3.5 is the latest version.
To install Python on your machine go to https://python.org/downloads/. The website should offer you a download button for the latest Python version. Download the executable installer and run it. Check the box next to
Add Python 3.7.4 to PATH and then click Install Now.
If dont know how to set the PATH on windows operating System then you will simply select the checkbox Add Python 3.7 to PATH & Click on Install Now Option shown in the below image .
After installation of python 3.7.4 , open the command prompt and check that the Python version matches the version you installed or not
python --Version
After that completion installation of Python 3.7.4 then you can check pip version
pip --version
After that
Virtual Environment
Install virtualenv and virtualenvmrapper ¶
virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper provide a dedicated environment for each Django project you create. While not mandatory, this is considered a best practice and will save you time in the future when you’re ready to deploy your project. Simply Enter
pip install virtualenvwrapper-win
Before installing Virtual Environment you must be open Windows PowerShell Run as an Administrator for installing virtualenvwrapper-win
after that simply copied above command & paste on it .
Then create a virtual environment project using ...
mkvirtualenv myproject
The virtual environment will be activated automatically and you’ll see “(myproject)” next to the command prompt to designate that. If you start a new command prompt, you’ll need to activate the environment again using:
workon myproject
Install Django
Django can be installed easily using
pip within your make virtual environment.
In the command prompt, ensure your virtual environment is active, and execute the following command:
pip install django
if django is successfully installed then you check then django version
python -m django --version
Before we create first djnago project make sure that we have a specific folder for my django project so in the followining image already shown that how to make folder for our first django project lets see ...
Now we want to create our first django project here so using ...
django-admin strtproject mysite
After creating the project "mysite" so we need to run our server
using python manage.py runserver is as followes
Now the server is running successfully after that running the django server we must be simple copy the Url http://127.0.0.1:8000/ and paste on the browser
so this is our first django project .
Thank you !
