Use the following steps to create a project in Django.
- Create a folder and open that in VSCode
- Create virtual environment using the following command
python -m venv env
- Here venv is the command to create the virtual environment and env is the name of the environment.
- After that activate the environment by going into the scripts folder and use the activate command
(env):\scripts>activate
- Once the virtual environment is active (your virtual environment name (env): indicates you are in virtual environment) then install the Django using the following command
pip install django
- Now we can create our project using the below command
django-admin startproject project-name .
- The (.) here indicated that it will create manage.py in the root folder else it will create one more folder inside the root with the project-name and add the manage.py file inside it.
