Django Day 2
creating our first project
Welcome to Day 2 of learning Django! In case you missed it, you can find the link to my previous tutorial here. Today, we will be creating our very first Django web project.
now lets start with our today’s work.
Creating our first project
Step 1: Setting the location path and creating a directory
As a Windows user, we need to access Windows PowerShell again. You can do this by right-clicking on the Windows icon and choosing Windows PowerShell. You can create your project in any directory you want. If you want to change the directory, use the following code:
Set-Location -Path E: For example, I created a folder called “Djj” in my E drive, and then created another folder called “learning” inside it. To change into that directory, we use the ‘cd’ command:
cd .E\Djj\Type ‘ls’ command to see how many files we have in the “learning” folder. Then, use the django-admin command to see all the commands used in Django.
Step 2: Creating our Django web project
To create our web project, we use the following command:

python manage.py runserverYou should see the following outputs,
Step 3: Deploying at our local server
As you can see in the following window, there’s a line that says “Starting development server at https://127.0.0.1:8000/". Click or paste that https link in your browser, and you will see the following page:
