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/

- [Link]

- myproject/

- __init__.py

- [Link]

- [Link]

- [Link]

- [Link]

Step 3: Navigate to the Project Directory

cd myproject
Step 4: Run the Development Server

To check if everything is working, run:

python [Link] runserver

You should see output like:

Starting development server at [Link]

Open a browser and go to [Link] 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 [Link] startapp app_name

Example:

python [Link] startapp blog

This creates a folder structure like:

blog/

- migrations/

- __init__.py

- [Link]

- [Link]

- [Link]

- [Link]

- [Link]
Step 6: Register the App in [Link]

In myproject/[Link], add 'blog' to the INSTALLED_APPS list:

INSTALLED_APPS = [

'[Link]',

'[Link]',

'[Link]',

'[Link]',

'[Link]',

'[Link]',

'blog', # Add your app here

Step 7: Apply Migrations

python [Link] migrate

Step 8: Create a Superuser (For Admin Panel)

python [Link] 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 [Link] runserver

Go to [Link] and log in with your superuser credentials.

Now, you have a basic Django project set up!
