In this part of the\u00a0Django tutorial<\/strong>, we will create our first Django project using the Django Framework and will test the same application on the test server made available by Django.<\/p>\n

We will discuss some easy steps in this Django project tutorial to create your first Django project and run the server application.<\/p>\n

How to Create Your First Django Project<\/h3>\n

To create a Django project, you will have to start your virtual environment which we set up in the last tutorial of Install Django and Set up a virtual environment<\/a><\/strong>, in that directory, you will be creating your Django project.<\/p>\n

For Windows PowerShell Users<\/strong><\/p>\n

Type this command:<\/p>\n

pip install django<\/pre>\n
This command will install Django in your virtual environment and will make it error free.<\/p>\n
\"pip<\/a><\/p>\n
After that, type this command:<\/p>\n
django-admin startproject project-name<\/pre>\n
It will create a Django project in your system in the directory in which you are currently in.<\/p>\n
The project name can be anything you like but keep it short and meaningful as you will be creating large websites after these tutorials.<\/p>\n
\"Django<\/a><\/p>\n
For Ubuntu Terminal Users<\/strong><\/p>\n
In the terminal type this command after activating your virtual environment, and in the desired directory.<\/p>\n
$ pip install -e django<\/pre>\n
This should install Django in your virtual environment.<\/p>\n
$ Django-admin.py startproject project-name.<\/pre>\n
The Django project in that directory has been created and you can check the files in it.<\/p>\n
Just enter the directory of your project-name and you will need to run some the manage.py file there. This Django project tutorial will be showing you how you will be doing that.<\/p>\n
In this image, you will see that when I executed the command and checked the directory again, I get a new directory of the project name in this case \u201cdataflair\u201d.<\/p>\n
Running the Test Server<\/h3>\n
Django is so much handy you will really like it as it provides you with the inbuilt test server.<\/p>\n
Django will change your habits of web development to the very core. It has given web-developers and test servers inside their pc where they can very easily run their Django projects. Thus, making the development process very fast and easy to use.<\/p>\n
For testing the project, change your directory to the Django project directory and there you must see the manage.py file. It is because that is the control file which we will use to operate our project, every time and it\u2019s very important.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Type this command:<\/p>\n
python manage.py runserver<\/pre>\n
This command execution should look like this.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Now, you can run the server application, just go to your browser and type this in the url bar:<\/p>\n
Localhost:8000<\/strong><\/p>\n
This is the test server page on the web browser, of course, we are doing the backend and we haven\u2019t done any real work yet. We have just created a Django project and learned the process to run the server so that we will be able to deploy our project.<\/p>\n
\"Test<\/a><\/p>\n
Summary<\/h3>\n
In this Django project tutorial, we learned how to create a project in Django and how to run the test server. These processes are just the basic aspects that you need to understand while working with Django<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
However, we will also learn the other aspects related to the Django framework for creating an application in upcoming articles.<\/p>\n
We will be developing several applications and understanding the Django architecture and file structure before we create our first app, it\u2019s really fun and you will love to work on it.<\/p>\n
