Django Project Creation Guide

Step 1: Install Django

Ensure you have Python installed (preferably 3.8+). Then, install Django using pip:

pip install django

Step 2: Create a Django Project

Run the following command to create a new Django project:

django-admin startproject project_name

Example:

django-admin startproject myproject

This will create a directory structure like this:

myproject/

- manage.py

- myproject/

- __init__.py

- settings.py

- urls.py

- asgi.py

- wsgi.py

Step 3: Navigate to the Project Directory

cd myproject
Step 4: Run the Development Server

To check if everything is working, run:

python manage.py runserver

You should see output like:

Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Open a browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/, and you should see the Django welcome page.

Step 5: Create a Django App

Inside your project, create an app to handle specific functionalities:

python manage.py startapp app_name

Example:

python manage.py startapp blog

This creates a folder structure like:

blog/

- migrations/

- __init__.py

- admin.py

- apps.py

- models.py

- tests.py

- views.py
Step 6: Register the App in settings.py

In myproject/settings.py, add 'blog' to the INSTALLED_APPS list:

INSTALLED_APPS = [

'django.contrib.admin',

'django.contrib.auth',

'django.contrib.contenttypes',

'django.contrib.sessions',

'django.contrib.messages',

'django.contrib.staticfiles',

'blog', # Add your app here

Step 7: Apply Migrations

python manage.py migrate

Step 8: Create a Superuser (For Admin Panel)

python manage.py createsuperuser

Follow the prompts to enter a username, email, and password.

Step 9: Run the Server and Access the Admin Panel

Start the server:

python manage.py runserver

Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ and log in with your superuser credentials.

Now, you have a basic Django project set up!
